Abstract
A broadhead for an arrow having a locking mechanism which insures true alignment of the longitudinal axis of the broadhead with the longitudinal axis of the shaft of the arrow. A securing member has longitudinal slots extending from opposite ends thereof. Each slot extends more than half the length of the securing member. The securing member is positioned over and screwed to an inner member, which is one of the arrow shaft and broadhead, and fitted within an outer member, which is the other of the arrow shaft and broadhead. When the inner member is screwed to the securing member the latter expands radially pressing it firmly against the inside of the outer member to secure the broadhead to the shaft. Because the securing member has longitudinally overlapping slots extending from opposite ends the radial expansion is uniform over the length of the securing member.
