The 125 Grain Aircraft Broadheads attract attention on Amazon due to their lower price point compared to premium brands. How does their quality compare to the big-name brands? We find out how they stand up to rigorous testing for real-world hunting use.

At the heart of the Aircraft Broadheads lies their distinctive triangular shape, which sets them apart from traditional arrowheads. This design feature serves multiple purposes, primarily enhancing their aerodynamics for improved flight stability and accuracy. The triangular profile and single-bevel design also contribute to superior penetration upon impact, effectively slicing through the target with minimal resistance. The shape is similar to the proven Helix broadhead design.

Potential Drawbacks
