This new broadhead has a (stainless-steel) ferrule locking system and features the Accu Flight System. It’s a fixed, three-blade broadhead with 1 3/8-inch cutting diameter.

MSRP: Unknown
2 | Allen Bloodrush Hybrid Broadhead
This head might have a crazy design, but it works. It produces devastating cuts and gets great penetration. Its twisted ferrule promotes larger blood trails. The hyper trauma blood ports increase hemorrhaging, which increases blood loss. The band and locking collar hold the blade closed for better accuracy and flight. Simply push the band over the blades before use. Then the blades will open on contact. This model has a 1 3/8-inch cutting diameter and weighs 100 grains.
MSRP: $34.99
3 | Allen Torrent Crossbow Broadhead
This little broadhead is designed specifically for crossbows. It has a 1 3/16-inch cutting diameter, weighs 100 grains and sports the chisel tip design. It has an increased ferrule diameter to match crossbow bolts, an integrated blade-locking nut and 1-degree right offset blades to help induce spin. Each of these features help improve overall accuracy.
MSRP: $17.99

The Metalhead from Allen is a four-blade option with Molten Metal technology. It weighs 100 grains and has a 1 1/8-inch cutting diameter.
