Summary

A broadhead is the physical point of contact between the bowhunter and the animal being hunted. This point of contact is critical, so broadhead selection should be considered critically. With seemingly countless broadheads available on the market, how should you evaluate which one to shoot? Should you choose a fixed-blade or a mechanical? Should it have 2, 3, or 4 blades? Is bigger better? Are premium models worth the cost? The questions could go on and on... And there isn't one right answer. There isn't one perfect broadhead for every situation. In this episode, our goal is to provide you with the information you need to select the best broadhead for your needs. Learn more at http://ExoMountainGear.com/podcast
