Abstract
A broadhead for connecting to the end of an arrow comprises a shaft having a longitudinal cylindrical shaped body and a plurality of blades pivotally attached to a blade holder that is slidably mounted upon the shaft. The blades are resiliently held in a retracted position during flight by at least one O-ring. When the broadhead impacts against an animal, the blade holder is slidably forced rearward allowing the blades to pivot outward into an extended position.
