There are a lot of different types of broadhead for crossbow out there. You should ideally use one that meets the weight requirements of your crossbow manufacturer as using a lighter or heavier broadhead could be dangerous. Along with a broadhead for crossbow, you should also get a wrench to screw it effectively.

Furthermore, there are a number of different types of broadhead and you need to be sure of which one you need. The different types of broadhead for a crossbow are:

• Fixed Broadhead for Crossbow: The blades on these arrows are rigid and you need to glue them on your arrow shaft.
• Removable Broadhead for Crossbow: The blades here can be removed and replaced in case of damage.
• Mechanical/Expandable Broadhead for Crossbow: The blades here retract when shot and only expand when contact is made. It’s more streamlined than the others but not as effective in target penetration.

1. Bullhead 3

Bullhead 3 is the best broadhead for crossbow if you’re interested in small game hunting for turkey and other similar animals.

The blade has been designed in a manner so that it would either kill perfectly or miss entirely. It has a large slicing surface so it can slice through the entire head or neck, making it perfectly fatal. There’s no risk of a messy kill. Furthermore, because it can slice off the head so easily, you don’t have to shoot for the breastbone, which can potentially ruin the meat.

The ferrule on this broadhead has been designed from aircraft-grade aluminum, and the blades are made of stainless steel. The blades remain sharp all season and don’t need to be replaced or sharpened periodically.

While this broadhead provides a clean kill, it’s important to have an extremely accurate aim because a turkey doesn’t have a wide target area. As such, your aim needs to be completely accurate. Furthermore, you’ll also need bolts that are one enough to keep them at the forefront of the riser shelf when you’ve drawn it completely.

Bullhead 3 is the most reasonable and most efficient broadhead for crossbow intended for small game hunting.

2. New Archery Products Spitfire 60-234

New Archery Products Spitfire 60-234 is the best mechanical broadhead for crossbow meant for both turkey hunting and deer-sized game hunting. It’s available in two versions — 125 grain and 100 grain. The 125 grain is better with penetration, however, the 100 grain provides more velocity.

This broadhead has an extremely effective mechanical retention system that will ensure it doesn’t open up mid-flight. Premature deployment is a common problem with mechanical broadheads. However, there has been no such reports made about the New Archery Products Spitfire 60-234.

The ferrule of this broadhead is grooved in shape so that it provides greater strength during penetration. Furthermore, the Spitfire is made of 3 extremely sharp blades that can create a large wound, and the Throphy Tip has the ability to crush the bone and prevent the game from fleeing. These features make it great for large game hunting as well.

New Archery Products Spitfire 60-234 is the best mechanical broadhead for crossbow that can be used both for small game hunting and large game hunting. It’s equally efficient in hunting turkey and deer.

3. Rage 2 Blade SC

Rage 2 Blade SC is perhaps the most precise mechanical broadhead for crossbow on the market. Rage is a pretty well-known brand in the gaming community and it has a reputation for heightened accuracy, and this model doesn’t disappoint either.

The blades are made with a SlipCam design with a large .039” leading-edge blade along with .035″ thick stainless steel expandable blades. The increased blade size can cut through the toughest of hide, making it ideal for deer hunting. It has a 2” cutting diameter and has a 100-grain rating.

The best feature of this broadhead for crossbow is the Shock Collar Technology that ensures that the blade remains closed and only gets deployed upon contact with the target. Furthermore, the package also comes with a practice shot and replacement blades.

Rage 2 Blade SC is one of the best and most accurate broadheads for a crossbow but it’s also extremely expensive.

4. Excalibur Boltcutter

Excalibur Boltcutter is the best-fixed broadhead for a crossbow. This is a 150-grain broadhead that’s incredibly powerful and can puncture the toughest of hide out there. It has three fixed blades and it’s shot with great accuracy.

Being a fixed broadhead for a crossbow, it’s not as accurate as the mechanical broadheads mentioned above. However, it’s still the most accurate fixed broadhead on the market. The low surface area coupled with a high 150-grain density makes it fatal to all of its targets.

This broadhead does suffer when it comes to cutting edge though. It has a diameter of only 1 1/16 inch. As such, it won’t cause as great of a wound or blood trail as the previous mentioned mechanical broadheads. However, if you’re accurate and aim for the fatal organs, this broadhead is ideal for hunting hogs, moose, and even deer.

Excalibur Boltcutter is the best broadhead for crossbow meant for hunting large game like moose, deer, and hogs. It’s the best amongst the fixed broadhead, but it’s not as accurate and doesn’t have as wide a cutting diameter as the mechanical broadhead.

5. G5 Outdoors Montec

G5 Outdoors Montec is an extremely high-speed broadhead for a crossbow that’s extremely durable and efficient. It’s available in a 100 grain and a 125-grain model. It comes in a variety of different sizes so it can be used by all crossbows.

One of the best aspects of this broadhead is that it has a tapered style and angle that makes it whiz through the air and towards the target extremely fast. Furthermore, the blades can also be cleaned and re-sharpened easily.

The cutting diameter is between 1″ to 1 1/8″ so it, unfortunately, doesn’t create a big blood trail. However, it’s powerful enough to puncture crucial organs so you can be assured that your target will be left immobile.

G5 Outdoors Montec isn’t as powerful or effective as some of the other broadhead for crossbow mentioned on this list. However, it is still capable of killing both small and large game.
