Abstract
A broadhead arrow tip for placement on the end of an arrow shaft for positively positioning any number of replaceable blades and positively holding the blades within the tip body in proper alignment with the longitudinal axis of the arrow shaft. A positive locking collar, of selectable length and of various materials, is provided between the arrow shaft ferrule and the tip body with such collar and body and ferrule having formed surfaces to lock and removeably retain the blades in the body. The length of the collar as well as the material used therefore is selectable such that the weight of the tip is controllable. The forward, tip end, of the body is undercut to receive and retain the forwardly directed tips of the individual blades.
