An arrowhead, in accordance with the present invention, includes an apex, and a first pair of blades fixed about an axis of the arrowhead, each of the preferably coplanar blades containing an edge defining a single-bevel edge that transitions to a double-bevel edge along the periphery of the arrowhead. The arrowhead may further contain a smaller second pair of blades fixed about the axis, each of the second pair of blades spaced apart from a primary blade, each of the second pair of blades extending along and fixed to the arrowhead along the axis.
1 . An arrowhead comprising:
an apex;
a first pair of blades fixed about an axis of said arrowhead;
a pair of opposed single-bevel edges equiangularly and downwardly extending from said apex;
a first terminus point and a second terminus point at each respective lower end of the single-bevel edges; and
a pair of opposed double-bevel edges, each equiangularly and downwardly extending from said first and second terminus points, respectively,
wherein each of said single-bevel edges and said double-bevel edges is formed on one of said first pair of blades.
2 . The arrowhead of claim 1 wherein each of said double-bevel edges are angled from a first terminal point of the single-bevel edges in a range from 50 to 60 degrees as measured from a first plane tangentially oriented with a base of said arrowhead, said axis orthogonally intersecting said first plane.
3 . The arrowhead of claim 2 wherein said double-bevel edges are angled from a first terminal point of the single-bevel edges at 55 degrees, as measured from said first plane.
4 . The arrowhead of claim 1 wherein said single-bevel edges are cut at an angle ranging from 25 to 35 degrees, and, said double-bevel edges are cut at an angle ranging from 25 to 35 degrees, each angle of each single-bevel edge measured from a respective plane orthogonally intersecting said single-bevel edge, and, each angle of each double-bevel edge measured from a respective plane orthogonally intersecting said double-bevel edge.
5 . The arrowhead of claim 4 wherein said single-bevel edges are cut at an angle of about 30 degrees, and, said double-bevel edges are cut at an angle of about 30 degrees.
6 . The arrowhead of claim 1 further comprising a second pair of blades fixed about said axis, each of said second pair of blades spaced about 45 to 90 degrees from at least one of a first pair of blades, each of said second pair of blades extending along and fixed to the arrowhead along said axis.
7 . The arrowhead of claim 6 wherein each of said second pair of blades is about one-eighth to one-half of an area of one of said primary blades.
8 . The arrowhead of claim 6 wherein each of said second pair of blades is a right triangle comprising a base, a height, and a hypotenuse.
9 . The arrowhead of claim 8 wherein said hypotenuse extends from a first plane to said axis, at an angle ranging from 95 to 110 degrees as measured from said first plane.
10 . The arrowhead of claim 9 wherein said hypotenuse extends from said first plane to said axis at an angle of 103 degrees.
11 . The arrowhead of claim 6 wherein said second pair of blades are substantially coplanar.
12 . The arrowhead of claim 6 wherein each of said second pair of blades is fixed to the arrowhead about 90 degrees from a primary blade.
13 . The arrowhead of claim 1 wherein said first pair of blades are substantially coplanar.
14 . An arrowhead comprising:
an apex;
a first pair of coplanar blades fixed about an axis of said arrowhead;
a second pair of blades fixed about said axis, each of said second pair of blades spaced apart from a primary blade, each of said second pair of blades extending along and fixed to the arrowhead along said axis;
a pair of opposed single-bevel edges equiangularly and downwardly extending from said apex;
a first terminus point and a second terminus point at each respective lower end of the single-bevel edges; and
a pair of opposed double-bevel edges, each equiangularly and downwardly extending from said first and second terminus points, respectively,
wherein each of said single-bevel edges and said double-bevel edges is formed on one of said coplanar blades.
15 . The arrowhead of claim 14 wherein each of said second pair of blades is spaced about 45 to 90 degrees from a primary blade.
16 . The arrowhead of claim 14 wherein each of said second pair of blades is spaced 90 degrees from one of the first pair of blades.
17 . An arrowhead comprising:
an apex; and
a first pair of substantially coplanar blades fixed about an axis of said arrowhead, each of said first pair of blades containing a periphery defining a single-bevel edge that transitions to a double-bevel edge along the periphery of the arrowhead.
18 . The arrowhead of claim 17 further comprising a second pair of blades fixed about said axis, each of said second pair of blades spaced apart from at least one of the first pair of blades, each of said second pair of blades extending along and fixed to the arrowhead along said axis.
19 . The arrowhead of claim 18 wherein each of said second pair of blades is spaced about 45 to 90 degrees from at least one of a first pair of blades.
20 . An arrow containing the arrowhead of claim 17 .
