How to Replace Broadhead Blades on Swhacker Mechanical Broadheads
In this video, Randy Groff from FL Outdoors walks you through how to swap out broadhead blades on the Swhacker #207—our original Mean Green 100-grain, 2-inch mechanical broadhead. He shows exactly how to inspect the ferrule, use the included Allen wrench, and install new blades to ensure full functionality in the field.
Replacing broadhead blades might seem intimidating at first, but with the Swhacker system, it’s designed to be simple, precise, and repeatable. Knowing how to properly maintain your blades ensures peak performance, better accuracy, and a consistent hunting experience every time you draw your bow.
Inspect and Prepare
Randy recommends starting by checking the ferrule for any damage. A properly maintained ferrule ensures your broadhead blades operate smoothly and safely. With the included 0.050” Allen wrench, you can back out the screw just enough to remove the old blades—no need to unscrew completely.
Before installing new broadhead blades, it’s also a good idea to clean the ferrule and inspect it for debris or signs of wear. Spin the used broadhead to check for bending—if there’s any wobble, it should be replaced. Keeping the ferrule in top condition ensures each shot flies true. Attention to this small detail can make a big difference when precision counts in the field.
Simple Blade Replacement
Swapping Swhacker broadhead blades is straightforward, quick, and designed to be hassle-free, allowing hunters to safely remove and replace each blade with precision and confidence.
- Back out the screw holding in the blades.
- Carefully remove the old blades from the ferrule.
- Insert the right blade first, seating it flat.
- Place the left blade on top, also flat—ensuring both blades are facing the correct way.
- Reinstall the screw and snug it down—no extreme torque needed.
Additionally, taking a moment to manually deploy each broadhead blade after installation ensures smooth operation and that your blades have been installed properly. This quick check is an easy habit that maximizes safety and performance with every hunt.
Following these steps keeps your mechanical broadheads performing like new season after season, so you can focus on hunting without worrying about gear failure.
This straightforward process is one of the reasons Swhacker broadhead blades are trusted by hunters across the country. Unlike many expandable broadheads, which require fiddly adjustments or multiple tools, Swhacker blades install quickly and reliably, letting you spend more time shooting and less time in the workshop.
Maintain Peak Performance
Every pack of replacement broadhead blades includes enough replacement blades for three broadheads with additional bands.
Routine inspection and replacement of your Swhacker broadhead blades also protects your investment. Well-maintained blades stay sharper longer, cut cleaner, and ensure every shot hits with maximum efficiency. For serious bowhunters, keeping blades in top condition is just as important as proper tuning and arrow selection.
Why Swhacker Broadhead Blades Stand Out
- Easy to replace and maintain for consistent field performance.
- Simple Allen wrench setup allows precise installation without hassle.
- Engineered for repeatable accuracy, ensuring your broadhead blades perform exactly as expected from practice to hunt day.
