Regardless of your crossbow's performance and the type of arrow you shoot, the broadhead arrow point is the most crucial hunting component. Because the crossbow arrow kills by causing massive blood loss, not by shock, the broadhead must be razor-sharp and fly true.

A fixed broadhead is a design that has been around for thousands of years. As the name sounds, fixed broadheads have blades that are “fixed” into position on the ferrule that never deploy or move. Benefits to this style head are better penetration, generally a stronger/tougher design, and less chance of malfunction.

The Iron Will S100 is a four-blade broadhead made from 0.062 inch A2 tool steel and is available in weights from 100 to 250 grains. It's a broadhead that you can rely on to stay sharp in your quiver, and even after passing through an animal they usually just require some stropping to get them ready to hunt again.

The main two broadheads I would look at for crossbows are the Trocar XB and the Muzzy ONE Crossbow broadhead. Both broadheads are offered in 100- and 125-grain weights.

Early crossbows were portable and mostly operated by one archer. They became popular for the defense of royal entourages and for hunting; the later multiple-firing crossbows were intended for military campaigns. Crossbows were also used in the West.

Broadheads are used primarily for hunting big game. Selecting the proper arrow and broadhead combination for your bow and the game being hunted is critical for the most penetration possible. There are three basic types of broadheads: fixed blades, removable blades, and mechanical (expandable) blades.

Fixed blades are popular among knife enthusiasts and collectors, but they are also used most commonly by hunters and outdoorsmen around the world. They value fixed blades because of their strength and durability, which make them reliable and dependable in the field. Custom knives can be made with a fixed blade as well.

Just about every company that makes mechanical broadheads will make both a “compound” version, as well as a “crossbow” version. The reason they do this is because of the newer and faster shooting crossbows. And the main difference between the crossbow and compound mechanical heads, is the blade retention strength.

Even with today's small profile, fixed-blade heads, most experts recommend a maximum arrow speed of 260-270 fps. Beyond that, broadhead planing becomes problematic for all but the very best archers.

New materials throughout, limb designs, strings, sights, bolts, stock construction and cocking mechanisms have made modern crossbows easier to use, more accurate and increasingly effective on game. The modern crossbow allows hunters who may not be able to draw a bow to deliver an extremely precise shot.

Crossbow's limbs are shorter and heavier than those of a bow and are mounted horizontally to a stock. The crossbow arrow, or bolt, is launched from a grooved track with the aid of a trigger system. Many models feature a scope or telescopic sight.

The earliest representations we have of the crossbow date from 400 BCE, in China. By 209 BCE the Chinese army had 50,000 crossbowmen who fought with mass-produced bronze weapons. These crossbows, which were an important weapon in war until rifles were invented, were usually mounted and could fire up to 650 feet.

Broadheads kill by cutting blood vessels, unlike the high energy shock of bullets. Hemorrhage is typically the result. A responsible bowhunter will use razor-sharp broadheads and only take shots that allow a clear, close shot to the vital area of the game animal. Many archers' injuries come from broadheads.
