Because the Helix rotates in flight, maintains momentum upon impact, and has a superior cutting design, your arrow/arrowhead is more likely to maintain its intended trajectory.As is usually the case, the action started as soon as I arrived. The effects of target movement are lessened when using a two-blade broadhead design. For example, there is potentially more ribcage to punch through if the animal is quartering, compared to directly broadside. Plus, the animal movement also results in unanticipated angles of the impact regarding the alignment of the animal’s bones. The movement alone causes the arrow/broadhead to veer off course as it enters the animal. This is a real problem for some broadhead designs. Every slight or not so slight movement the animal makes will obviously affect the arrow/broadhead’s trajectory – up, down right, left. Now, let’s put your target in motion – say, a whitetail jumping the string or even the subtle movements of an animal that’s feeding. Nothing concerning the target has impacted the arrow/broadhead’s trajectory. When you shoot a stationary target, once your broadhead strikes the surface, you know where the broadhead is. Have you ever made a perfect shot, eventually recovered the animal, and discovered your broadhead in a completely unexplainable location within the animal? (Or perhaps made a perfect shot and never recovered the animal?) This means superior penetration and a massive wound channel…larger in diameter than the width of the broadhead. The rotation of the Helix Arrowhead continues upon impact. The benefits of the helix principle don’t end with flight. In other words – your arrow goes where it’s aimed.
While the Helix Arrowhead may appear to be a simple two-blade design, the offset sharpening process yields a unique hunting broadhead that is forced to rotate in flight.įront rotation from the arrowhead combined with back rotation from the fletching results in greater stability in flight. The secret to creating the helix effect comes from the sharpening process. This is a unique principle in broadhead design: steerage from the front, which results in greater overall stability in flight. The Helix Arrowhead’s single bevel, aerodynamic design means it works in tandem with the fletching. Unfortunately, many broadheads tend to plane in flight and can actually counteract the benefits of rotation caused by the fletching. Fletching causes rotation from the back of the arrow. The term Helix refers to a twist or rotation.Īrrow rotation is crucial for shot accuracy. Thanks again for ming an incredible product. After dressing the buffalo we discovered that one of my broadside shots hit a massive rib upon entering the bison's body cavity but just split and broke the bone before continuing all the way through and back out of the animal. All broadheads recovered were still scary sharp with absolutely zero damage or deformation. The bison only went approximately 250 yards from the first shot to where he finally went to the ground. My third and final shot was from 20 yards broadside with a complete pass through. My second shot was a 45 yard quartering away shot that entered the bison's left side went through both lungs at an angle and buried into the right shoulder where it caused the bone to crack. My first shot broadside from 56 yards was a complete pass through of the bison. I took down a 10-lb bison with three arrows all tipped with the Helix 125gr broadhead. I just wanted to send this as a testimony to how incredible your Helix 125gr broadheads performed on my bison hunt this weekend.
