Abstract

An arrowhead for a target and hunting arrow that includes a plurality of pivoting sharpened blades having actuating tips that move from a closed folded position to an open and extended position as the arrowhead penetrates the target or game. The blades increase the cutting action of the arrowhead and prevent the arrowhead from passing through the target or game. Each blade can be of the same geometrical configuration.
