Abstract
An arrowhead mechanical blade retention system incorporates retention bumps directly on a pair of opposed deployable blades. When closing or opening the mechanical blades in a broadhead, the retention bumps are forced to pass each other prior to the mechanical blades deploying. This necessarily puts tension on each blade, tending to hold them into position without any additional components. With sufficient force, the blades will simultaneously cross from a closed flight position with a pivot point on one side of the broadhead body to an open and deployed position on the other side of the broadhead body. Once the retention bumps pass each other to release the blades, there is a significantly reduced force required to completely deploy the blades.
