Abstract

A mechanical broadhead with a set of blades that mechanically activate via a fixed style blade that slides at impact. The blades may deploy inside a cavity of an animal or the blades may deploy outside a cavity of an animal. The blades are slideably secured in a body in accepting slots. The deployable blades may include a ratchet mechanism to lock the deployable blades in one or more positions. The mechanical broadhead maintains a low aerodynamic profile for proper flight via the deployable blades.
