ABSTRACT:
An arrowhead for an arrow that utilizes a tip actuation mechanism for retaining and releasing a set of expandable blades. The arrowhead has a tip ferrule and a body ferrule, each having a number of blade slots. A set of blades, each having a blade ear, are rotatably attached to the body ferrule. The tip ferrule is positioned on the body ferrule such that the tip ferrule sits on each blade ear and retains the blades in a semi-retracted position. The downward force by the tip ferrule on the blade ear causes direct ejection of the blades without the use of any intervening structures. Consequently, the impact force is maximized to penetrate into the animal, therefore increasing the chances of getting a kill. The device can be reused by the user without the purchase of any new parts by simply attaching the tip ferrule to the body ferrule.
