There is one ferrule for the mechanical version and a different ferrule for the fixed version. We did put out a video stating this at the end of April 2024, but apparently due to social media or something it was removed. Trifecta Broadheads decided to go this route with the ferrules so the mechanical versions would not be considered “barbed” and would allow the blades to retract backward and with a future blade design allow it to function better upon impact. If you purchased mechanicals from us and your fixed blades did not work, (fixed blades will not lock into place with the bottom locking screws in the mechanical ferrule due to spacing differences) please send us an email and we will ship out the proper ferrule.
Q: How do these fly out of a crossbow?
A: We have shot all of these out of a 290-300fps crossbow with great accuracy. We just had the 100g mechanicals shot out of a Ravin R500 and had field point accuracy.
Q: What kind of blade locking mechanism is used on the mechanicals?
A: On our new patent pending Pop n Lock design, the locking tabs on the blades lock against the ferrule and act as a retention device inside the ferrule.
Q: How big are the holes with the mechanicals? (my favorite question)
A: 1.75” mech is getting 2-2.25” entries consistently and occasionally larger than that. The 187 (actually a 2” cut) is getting 2.5-3” consistently.
Q: What is the lowest poundage you’ve shot your mechanical?
A: We got a complete pass through on a 150lb sow with a 55lb bow at 26” draw with the 1.65 mech. Also a complete pass through on a South Texas whitetail doe with 48lbs and 25.5” draw with the 1.65 mech.
Q: Where are your broadheads made?
A: Over 1/2 of production comes from USA and other portion sourced globally. With over 1/2 we could claim “made in USA” like other manufacturers do, but we are honest and do not believe in that practice.
Q: How well does the tip hold up?
A: The tip holds up extremely well since it is .040” thick and 3/8” wide. It also acts as a bleeder blade in all of the designs.
