The Broadhead Debate Nobody Is Having | Speed Broadheads

Speed Broadheads entered an industry dominated by the same fixed-blade-versus-mechanical debate—but their founders believe bowhunters are asking the wrong questions.In Episode 16 of the Sitka Southeast Podcast, we sit down with the team behind Speed Broadheads to break down the engineering, testing, and hunting philosophy behind their unique broadhead design.We discuss why some mechanical broadheads can lose significant energy during blade deployment, how broadheads may deflect on quartering shots, why fixed blades can become difficult to tune, and why perfect penetration means nothing if the broadhead does not hit where you are aiming.The Speed team also explains how they use high-speed cameras, shooting machines, ballistic gel, plywood, angled-impact testing, low-poundage bows, and crossbows to evaluate broadhead performance.We also cover:Fixed blades versus mechanical broadheads.Why deployment force matters.The difference between a bullet-hole entrance and immediate blade deployment.How wound shape affects blood trails.Broadhead flight and tuning.Heavy arrows versus lighter arrow setups.Why there is no single perfect arrow build.How practice broadheads can produce misleading results.Ethical shot placement and shoulder impacts.The future of Speed Broadheads.Whether you shoot a fixed blade, mechanical broadhead, heavy arrow, or lighter high-speed setup, this conversation will make you reconsider what really matters when choosing your hunting equipment.As always, mention the podcast in the store and recieve 15% off your purchase at check out!!
