Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Broadhead tip comparison evaluation

To reduce tip damage and to make heads that would fare better with bone impacts, Broadhead makers added a secondary tip in front of the main blades. These were no longer called COC heads and more energy was needed to get the tip through the hide but with today's hunting bows, with super speed and high KE, the trade off could be made.

Here are some examples of some secondary tips. These tips are the strongest and most durable and are advertised for their bone busting abilities.

Trocar, made famous by Muzzy and to be copied by many many other head makers.



A variation of a trocar.



Pyramid



Cone or faceted cone



The longer the tip is, the more prone it is to bending when making a heavy impact.



It should be noted that even some secondary tips are actually COC styles like this Rage 3 blade.
