Fixed-blade broadheads are simple. No moving parts, no deployment sequence, just steel doing what steel has done for centuries. The Tooth of the Arrow is built on that principle, and sometimes simple is better.
Fixed Blades vs Mechanical
Here’s the choice every bowhunter makes at some point: Do you want a broadhead that flies like your field points and stays simple, or do you want mechanical blades that deploy on impact for a bigger wound channel?
A fixed blade flies more like your field points, which means if your form is solid and you practice with field points, your accuracy transfers directly to your hunting broadheads. There’s no surprise deployment, no moving parts to worry about failing in cold weather or on impact.
The Tooth of the Arrow represents the fixed-blade approach. Sharp out of the box, built solid, and designed by people who understand that simple sometimes wins.
Fixed blades have been hunting forever because they work, and the Tooth of the Arrow carries that forward without apology.
Building Your Broadhead Arsenal
I’ve tested both sides of this argument. The Rage Hypodermic is my mechanical choice for maximum energy transfer, and the Tooth of the Arrow represents the fixed-blade option for hunters who want simplicity and proven performance. Thorn is another fixed-blade option worth considering. The more you hunt, the more you understand that every broadhead type has situations where it shines.
