Broadheads should be screwed onto arrows using a special tool called a broadhead wrench. This wrench covers the blades while tightening, ensuring safety and a firm grip without risking cuts. It allows proper tightening to a snug fit without overtightening, which can damage the threads on the broadhead or arrow insert. Additionally, broadheads are typically threaded and screwed into the arrow inserts by hand first, then tightened securely with the broadhead wrench for safety and proper alignment. Protective gloves are recommended during this process to prevent injury. In summary:
- Use a broadhead wrench to screw on broadheads safely.
- Thread the broadhead by hand first.
- Tighten to a snug fit with the wrench, avoiding overtightening.
- Use protective gloves to avoid cuts from the sharp blades.
This method is standard across different types of arrows and broadheads for safe and effective attachment.
