What Makes a Great Crossbow Broadhead?
Comments are disabled for this video.
I'm Chris with Afflicted Broadheads,
and today we're gonna talk about the one broadhead
in our line that shines for crossbows and why it does so.
The K2 Fixed is always gonna be our go-to
when it comes to crossbows.
It's the personal favorite of ours,
but it has a lot of benefits no matter
what crossbow platform you're shooting.
If you're shooting a shorter bolt, a longer bolt,
maybe high speed, speeds over 500 feet per second,
or lower speeds, this is the broadhead
that will get the job done.
Some of the featured benefits of the K2 Fixed
that it's so good in all crossbow platforms,
it is a low profile fixed blade broadhead.
And by low profile, I mean the main blades
have an inch and an eighth cut,
and our bleeder blades have a one inch cut.
Now, these blades are special all on their own
because they're super thick.
They're 59,000, so if you're tired of shooting a broadhead
out of your crossbow and it goes through your target
and non-usable, or through an animal and non-usable,
you'll really appreciate the K2 Fixed
because not only is it easily sharpenable
if you wanna bring it back to life,
but if you wanna order replacement blades,
it's a real inexpensive way to keep your K2 Fixed
year after year, the same ferrule, the same tip.
Our tips are really, really hard to hurt in any way.
But if you would happen to damage one somehow,
maybe in some rocks, we have a staffer in Hawaii,
lava rock is really hard on every broadhead,
but he's been one of the only ones I know
that can go through tips
because of the lava rock on pass-throughs.
So if that's a problem for you,
you can still use your same base for your whole K2 Fixed
and just play out with some changing of the parts
and have a brand new, super sharp broadhead.
The other feature of this K2 Fixed in the crossbows,
especially your really high-speed crossbows,
500 and up, your Ravens, your 10 points,
the bows that are really screaming,
this broadhead is extremely accurate for long distances.
Out of just even this Titan M1,
which is not really considered a real high-speed crossbow,
we get great flight all the way out to 60 yards.
Now, we don't shoot a lot beyond 60 yards.
We've done testing out there and it is still very accurate,
but we do do a lot of shooting 50 yards and in.
And with the way this scope is set up on this crossbow,
all the crosshairs are accurate.
If I'm using a hundred grain broadhead
on an Evo X Bolt from 10 point,
10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards are right on the money.
And that's very unusual,
but you can see the same results in your setup as well.
Whatever crossbow you have,
if your scope of course is set up to those increments
for whatever grain broadhead that you have.
Now, the other neat thing about this broadhead
is the availability of other grains.
So if you're shooting a crossbow
that recommends 150 grains,
we have it in the K2 Fix.
We have 155 grain model,
and that actually is the favorite of most crossbow shooters
because you are getting a little FOC,
a little more FOC, a little more momentum,
greater penetration.
And also at the 155 mark,
you're moving up to solid stainless steel.
So even the ferrule is stainless steel at 155 grains.
So you're really kind of get a super broadhead
that is really hard to damage or hurt in any way,
no matter what torture you're putting it through
in the field.
So the K2 Fix does offer all the way up to 200 grains,
if that's something that suits you.
Now, I know some of the crossbows,
the new ones, the fast ones,
the way they're set up with shorter bolt systems
is they have a real narrow channel up front.
So you can't use anything that's very wide.
The K2 Fix seems to fit in every channel on any crossbow,
even the Ravens.
So you're not having any trouble
if you have a recessed bolt
that's sitting like inside of a cradle area
at the front of your crossbow.
So it's a really good choice
for any of those crossbows across the board.
The other thing about the K2 Fix,
and I think is what makes it stand out
is not only that it's durable and accurate and tough,
it's special on the way it leaves a hole.
The tip design,
coupled with the 90-degree shoulders on the bleeder
and this 1 1⁄8-inch cut leaves a nice coring hole.
In fact, it's comparable to a 20-gauge slug hole at times.
It really does an amazing job,
and that's unusual for a lot of Fix.
A lot of Fix blades, depending on their design,
just kind of tend to close back up,
and whether it's a three or four or two blade,
you kind of have a little tendency
to not get a coring wound channel.
So with this K2 Fix,
you're going to get that coring hole.
In fact, in bear camp in the fall,
no matter how fat the bears are,
it's leaving a nice channel and we're getting a lot of blood
and I really love this on fall bear hunts
when you're dealing with all that fat.
It does a great job.
But on whitetails, big game, African game, Alaska game,
the K2 Fix has been proven over and over again,
and I think that you will love it in your crossbow setup.
