F


or decades, broadhead engineers have come up with
many different methods to retain the blades of mechanical
broadheads such as O-rings, plastic collars and rubber bands.
However, sometimes those items are the cause of failure – either
in f light or upon impact.
Spectre Broadhead says they have solved this problem
through magnetism. Spectre’s magnetic-blade technology holds
the blades closed throughout arrow f light, but upon impact,
the blades are guaranteed to open instantly for a failureproof
deployment that results in massive entry and exit wounds.
The Spectre Broadhead was designed to f ly like a
field point, and it features a strong, aerodynamic, machined
7075-aluminum ferule with a hardened-carbon-steel four-face
chisel tip that provides reliable penetration through hide, f lesh
and bone. Spectre says their broadhead has the thickest, strong-
est blades of any expandable broadhead on the market. The pair
of 0.047-inch-thick razor-sharp, swept-back blades are magnet-
ized to hold them together until the moment of impact, when
they reliably deploy to cut a path of destruction. The chisel tip
and blades have a gold Cerakote finish for lubricity and wear
resistance.
The new Spectre Broadhead is available in two versions,
namely a 100-grain with a 2-inch cutting diameter, and a 125-
grain version that boasts a 2.25-inch cutting diameter. Each
three-pack of broadheads comes with a practice head and an
extra set of sharp blades, ultimately providing four broadheads
for the price of three.

rrow penetration is vital when it comes to successful big game
hunting, yet without precise shot placement, maximizing pen-
etration alone may not seal the deal. Easton says they have the selu-
tion for bowhunters with the T64 Full Metal Jacket – the arrow that
combines maximum killing power with the highest level of FOC
accuracy.
The T64 FMJ shaft profile begins at the front with a 6 mm diam-
eter that seamlessly tapers down to a micro-diameter 4 mm at the
nock end. The integrated front-of-center weight distribution adds
up to 30% more FOC for the best in exacting long-range accuracy.
For lethal big game results, the rear taper creates a reduced-friction
path for maximum penetration. Couple these new improvements with
FMJ's track record of field-proven success, and the Easton T64 now
sets the new arrow shaft benchmark for bow hunting big game, says
t he compa ny.
