from what i can tell by looking at all of them, the only difference is the packaging says "crossbow" on it.

none of the packages state why it is a crossbow head, or what difference there is between it and the same head in the regular version.

 

Most marked crossbow are not any different at all. Seems after the first company put that on the package the rest followed. Now some are slightly different like the G5 expandable has a different stronger clip to hold it shut. On fixed blades a shorter head like a Slicktrick or Striker will fly better than a long head.

 

Just like crossbow field points, the base is a little bit wider on most bh's as well

 

Ok, thanks.

 

Fixed blandes are the same unless they made the head compatible with a 2219 sized shaft which is what all xbows originally used. They are 22/64s in diamater. Some mechanicals have beefed up locking mechanisms so they dont fly open upon firing due to the violent launch a xbow give a bolt. Some Xbow broadheads are heavier too in weight in case the arrow is not using a brass insert to front load the FOC. Many of the Xbow broadheads are 150 gr or heavier for that reason.

 

when i called NAP a couple years ago and ask them what was different, they told me..... the packaging is whats different.

 

dido. I asked them and they said there was no difference.

 

ive shot a few different ones. All of my muzzy's that i use with my compound bow shoot fine with my crossbow. Rages were a little different. Standard rages would open up just after being shot. Its a hell of a ride out of the front of a crossbow. So i tried the rages for crossbows and it seemed that they stayed locked in until impact. Thats all I have found. Just make sure the weight is ideal for your crossbow. I shoot 100 grain muzzy's and they fly great.

 

Generally same BUT Rage uses a heavier blade retention collar to prevent premature deployment at crossbow surge,speed.

 

Same with swacker

 

When I bought my first xbow I already had 15 Rage 2 blade heads. they work just fine out of my Stealth XLT with the rage shock collars installed.

 

I contacted Grim Reaper and inquired about this. They said the crossbow heads have a heavier spring to handle the higher speeds.
