Let me start by stating that I am not a professional bow hunter. I bought these broadheads for my son's Barnett Jackal Crossbow. These things screw into the shaft securely (as I would assume all broadheads would do) and they stay in tight upon repeated use. They come to you in razor sharp condition and are designed to expand upon impact for a wider wound channel. The expansion mechanism seems pretty foolproof, and the heads themselves are durable after repeated entries into a stacked foam target.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expandable broad heads, September 11, 2011

While these have the Barnett name on them they are Tru-Fire Switchblades. Tru-fire makes actual practice tips that simulate the actual Switchblade in either 100 or 125 grain. These are a required sight-in tool to keep from shooting the real broad heads. I have been using the Switchblades for 3 years now and have had very good performance and clean kills. Only downside is that the blades are not replaceable. If you are shooting a crossbow with speeds in excess of 375 fps you will need the Switchblades that are built for crossbows or the heads can open up premature just due to the speed and launch from the Xbow.

These blades are recommended for the Barnett cross bow which I would expect from any company that makes both products. I have found that often the recommended products are very good, such as the Barnett arrows I have used in practice shooting with this bow, so I went with the recommendation. I have never hunted with a cross bow before but have hunted with a bow since I was 12 years old. I shot at and missed my first deer using wood arrows and a re-curve bow back in 1960. The expanding blades, upon examination, seem to function very well and open and collapse as they are required. They open upon impact and will close down easily by pulling gently on the tip.
Though I do not plan to shoot these into a target before hunting, I am experienced enough with hunting tips to know how they will react. The non-expanding blades will "plane" especially with the high speed arrows. Flight can be different from the field points with the fixed blades. The research shows that the expanding tips fly very close to the same as a field point of the same weight. I am confident that this will be the case with the Barnett expandable broadheads. I'm excited about my first hunt with the cross bow and I say, " good hunting to you".
