  • Patent number: 5178398
    Abstract: A hunting broadhead for attachment to an arrow used in bow hunting of a game animal having two thin flat metal elongated blades juxtaposed each other pivotally secured in a slot situated in a rearwardly located tubular body. Each blade has a pointed first end adapted to precede the arrow in flight for penetration of the animal's hide and initial movement into the animal. Each blade has one sharpened lengthwise side and one blunted side with the outstanding spur, the blunted sides extending outwardly of the sharpened sides when the pointed front ends overlap permitting an elastic band to encompass both said blades to maintain such configuration for flight and initial penetration of the animal. After penetration into the game animal, rearwardly located outwardly protruding spurs engage the animal's hide causing a metamorphosis whereupon the blades rotate with the rear moving to the front to become the forward leading point.

  • Patent number: 5046744
    Abstract: A hunting point for attachment to arrows used in bow hunting having two thin flat metal blades juxtaposed each other held together by a rearwardly located tubular body, each blade having a sharpened projection first end adapted to precede the arrow in flight for initial penetration of the game animal hide. Upon penetration into the game animal, the hunting point goes through a metamorphosis wherein the front first sharpened end of each blade rotates to the point where it becomes the trailing end and the rear second end of the blade rotates to the front to become the forward leading point. By enabling such a metamorphosis, minimum resistance to the arrow in flight and to initial penetration of the animal's hide is achieved and maximum cutting area inside the animal is obtained after the initial penetration.
