Why Mechanical Broadheads Make All the Difference
In this video, Randy Groff from FL Outdoors breaks down exactly how Swhacker mechanical broadheads work, and what makes them stand apart from the rest. For bowhunters who demand precision, penetration, and consistency, understanding how these broadheads work can completely change the way you think about your setup.
The Secret Behind Swhacker’s Design
Randy uses a 3D-printed deer hide simulator to show exactly what happens when a Swhacker mechanical broadhead hits its target. The demonstration highlights what makes Swhacker mechanicals different from traditional fixed-blade and other mechanical broadhead designs. Thanks to Swhacker’s patented Slice Twice technology, the blades stay completely closed on entry, protecting the cutting edge from scraping against hide, ribs, or bone.
This detail might seem small, but it’s the entire reason Swhacker mechanical broadheads have earned such a loyal following among serious hunters. When the head passes through the hide and enters the cavity, the blades deploy inside the animal, exposing a fresh, razor-sharp edge that does its real work where it counts—through the vitals. The result is devastating cutting performance through lungs, heart, and arteries without losing sharpness or energy.
That means every shot benefits from a “virgin” blade—an edge that hasn’t dulled or lost its integrity before reaching critical organs. Unlike traditional broadheads that begin slicing the moment they hit the hide, Swhacker’s mechanical broadheads hold their sharpness until the perfect moment.
Proven Cutting Power
In this demonstration Randy uses the Levi Morgan Series #261, a 100-grain, 2-inch cut mechanical broadhead built for both compound bows and crossbows. The breakdown shows exactly why this head has become a favorite among hunters chasing big game. No matter what’s in that two-inch path—hide, ribs, or shoulder—it cuts clean, deep, and true, using blades that haven’t been compromised before impact.
This breakthrough design prevents the common problems that plague other heads, like bone deflecting or limited penetration from dull blades. Swhacker’s mechanical broadheads ensure sharper cuts, cleaner blood trails, and deeper penetration—every single time.
Built for Every Setup
Another big advantage of mechanical broadheads is versatility. Swhacker offers a range of sizes and cutting diameters, giving hunters options to match their draw weight, arrow setup, and hunting style:
100-grain – 1.75-inch cutting diameter
100-grain – 2-inch cutting diameter
125-grain – 2.25-inch cutting diameter
125-grain – 2.5-inch cutting diameter
150-grain – 3-inch cutting diameter
Even the massive 3-inch model uses Swhacker’s same wing-blade design for smooth penetration and energy efficiency. As Randy explains, it doesn’t take much more force to push a 3-inch Swhacker through because those blades remain sharp, clean, and ready until they open inside. That’s the real magic of a well-engineered mechanical broadhead.
Why Hunters Choose Mechanical Broadheads Like Swhacker
- Slice Twice technology keeps blades closed until inside the animal
- Virgin, razor-sharp blades maximize penetration
- Aerodynamic and efficient for consistent flight
- Field point accuracy
- Multiple sizes to match any bow, speed, or hunting style
Mechanical broadheads deliver the perfect balance of flight, penetration, and precision—and Swhacker takes that performance to another level. If you’ve ever wondered what separates a good shot from a great one, the answer might just be in your broadhead choice.
Shoot smarter. Shoot Swhacker.
