Another item that hunters get really excited about is broadheads. These handle the business end of your projectile, and reliable operability is crucial. Here are some of the most reliable options for 2022.
1. Dead Ringer Super Freak Extreme

This broadhead is even said to work well with angled shots.

The SEVR Titanium 2.0 isn’t brand new, but it is just as impressive as others on this list. It’s made to work for both compound bows and crossbows. Its swept-back blade angle and re-engineered deployment geometry make for more accurate shooting. Given the durable design, and titanium ferrule, this is one of the toughest broadheads in the field. With the large cutting surface, this option creates very large entry and exit wounds. Overall, it gets up to 15% more penetration than the original Ti 2.1. Its Lock-and-Pivot blades are crafted from 420 grade, 0.032-inch-thick stainless steel, and move as needed after entry, which helps navigate past heavy bone.
