Bowhunters obsess over broadheads for a good reason: the broadhead is what does the killing. Thread a sub-par broadhead into your arrow, one with a tin-can ferrule and dull blades, and you'll have problems. However, if you go with any of the following broadheads, you'll be posing for that grip-and-grin photo.

NAP Killzone

NAP's KillZone family has filled my freezer on more than one occasion, and its new-for-2025 KillZone RX 2.0 ($49.99 per 3) is the next evolution in this blood-trail-creating family. In models with cut-on-contact tips and those with NAP's Trophy Tip, these wicked-sharp two-blade expandables ensure field-point accuracy and deep penetration.

NAP gave the broadhead a two-inch cut diameter. The blades sport a unique sweeping design, which should create massive internal hemorrhaging and red-carpet blood trails. The durable 7075 aluminum ferrule won't fold under pressure and resists damage when contacting bone. The head's streamlined design eliminates the need for external hardware, and the .035-inch-thick blades are tough and durable. newarchery.com

Rage Broadhead

Since their creation, Rage Broadheads have filled a pile of quivers and there's a reason: they work! Rage heads have an uncanny ability to slice, dice, and leave entrance and exit holes that are often excessively larger than the particular broadhead's cut diameter.

For 2025, three OG Rage originals—the Blade Tip SC, Chisel Tip SC, and Typan +P—now feature blades Rage notes to be 67-percent sharper than the original. They also come with Rage's tried-and-true Shock Collars and Slap Cut. Shock Collars ensure zero chance of pre-flight blade deployment, and Slap Cut helps aid in previously mentioned wicked cuts. The razor-sharp blades jump into action on impact, producing remarkable entrance wounds and maximum penetration. The Rage Black Series comes in three packs between $34.99 and $49.99. feradyne.com

Iron Will fixed blade in case

If you want a tough-as-nails fixed-blade broadhead that flies like a field point and cuts like crazy, give Iron Will's Single Bevel ($129.99-$149.99 per 3) a look. Forever rooted in fixed-blade lore, the head features an uncanny ability to maintain the arrow's rotational spin through impact. This allows the broadhead to drill through bone and heavy tissue, leading to more pass-throughs on big game. For 2025, Iron Will adds a waterproof, dust-proof, bulletproof case that keeps blades sharp and ready when needed. Single Bevel Broadheads come in multiple models in right- or left-rotation designs. Iron Will offers the Single Bevel in three- and six-packs. ironwilloutfitters.com

Hardware Review: Browning BAR MK 4 Hunter

First, the Browning Automatic Rifle addressed in this article is not the renowned 1918 BAR of military fame. I’ve actually seen an American Rifleman editor hunt hogs with a reproduction 1918 BAR. While it was a spectacle to behold, it’s probably not the optimal choice for the deer woods, but hey, who am I to judge? The Browning BAR we’re talking about in this article is the iconic hunting rifle.
