Broadheads (exposed-blade arrowheads) have been helping put meat on the table ever since arrows replaced the spear. But today's lighter, faster arrows require broadheads specially engineered for stability and accuracy. Rocket Aeroheads provide that proven edge in engineering. We call it "Rocket Science." You'll simply know it as the best performing broadheads ever to occupy your quiver.
Rocket Aeroheads' low-profile enclosed blades require little if any spin for stabilization. You can shoot them accurately even with a straight fletch, although a slight helical (10 or 20) or offset is recommended.
Rocket Science: Rocket Aeroheads let you achieve optimum flight with the same small fletch you use for field points, because the fletching doesn't have to overcome the instability created by exposed blades. As a result, you conserve arrow energy for the moment of impact.
Hit where you aim. Rocket Aeroheads are aerodynamically designed to fly just like field points of equal weight. Don't change your setup — practice with a field point, screw on a Rocket Aerohead and go straight to the hunt. Get the same trajectory that you do with field points.
Rocket Science: Because Rocket Aeroheads are lighter than other broadheads, they transmit less inertial shock to the shaft during acceleration. You can use light shafts with light spine, achieving flatter trajectory, more speed and greater accuracy. With less spinning mass up front, a lower rate of rotation and less rear-end drag, Rocket Aeroheads far outperform conventional broadheads.
On impact, Rocket Aeroheads open fully before penetration. The greater the arrow speed, the faster the blades deploy. They never fail to open, always creating a full width entry wound with deep penetration.
Rocket Science: As the leading edges of the tip strike, simple lever-action forces the blades open. Upon impact, the Rocket Aerohead directs a slight amount of force along the shaft, enough to expand the O-ring for deployment. Tips are unsharpened, so blades deploy quickly before penetration. Unlike broadheads that deploy inside the target and rob shots of valuable energy for penetration, Rocket Aeroheads are designed for optimal energy at impact and full width penetration.
Rocket Aeroheads provide superior penetration, even versus smaller, conventional broadheads. In targets of foam-and-plywood, Stealth series Rocket Aeroheads show up to twice the penetration of conventional broadheads. In game, Rocket Arrowheads snake along the path of least resistance, twisting and glancing off of bone to cut vital tissue.
Rocket Science: Rocket Aeroheads' patented offset blades deliver a devastating spiral wound. They readily shatter the largest bone, unless there is an easier way around. When impact is at an acute angle, Rocket Aeroheads turn an otherwise glancing hit into a successful hunt. Blade tips are pointed, not rounded, pulling into the target. When even a single blade catches, it leverages the chisel point inward. Typically, an angled hit with a Rocket Aerohead produces a slash wound up to the point of entry. Note: Avoid tight angle shots with longer-bladed Rocket Aeroheads, which may cause turning upon impact and limit penetration.
The small on-center blades of conventional broadheads often leave a small surgical cut, which can easily close. The spiral wound channel left by Rocket Aeroheads is anything but small or surgical.
Rocket Science: The offset blades on Rocket Aeroheads are set back from the chisel tip. As a result, bone shatters and flesh stretches before the blades strike. Blood vessels, arteries and flesh are cut for maximum hemorrhaging. With the extra wide cutting diameters, you'll see an obvious trail to recovered game.
Rocket Aeroheads possess all the strength of the toughest conventional broadheads. Grueling tests show they stay together through the toughest materials. The blades are secured with screws. The blades may occasionally bend on impact with large bone, but they continue to cut and will not break.
Rocket Science: It is a more effective use of arrow energy for a blade to bend occasionally on large bone. This allows more energy for cutting vital tissue and promoting rapid hemorrhaging. In the worst-case scenario, the cutting diameter and blade angle are reduced to that of a conventional broadhead — a rare event for a Rocket Aerohead, even when penetrating shoulder bone.
