1. A broadhead, comprising:
- an elongated body;
a pivot pin fixedly engaging the elongated body;
a block fixedly engaging the elongated body;
a pair of forward blades pivotally connected to the elongated body, each forward blade configured to pivot outwardly from the elongated body upon ingress of the broadhead into a target, wherein;
when the pair of forward blades pivot outwardly about the pivot pin upon ingress of the broadhead into the target, the blades extend from the elongated body to a deployed position;
the pair of forward blades move rearward with respect to both the pivot pin and block upon ingress of the broadhead into the target; and
the block acts as a blade lock to lock the pair of forward blades in the deployed position when the pair of forward blades pivot outwardly upon ingress of the broadhead into the target; and
a pair of rearward blades pivotally connected to the elongated body, each rearward blade including a lever configured to cause the rearward blade to pivot outwardly from the elongated body when a predetermined force is applied to the lever;
wherein ingress of the broadhead into the target forms in the target a single elongated slit, and egress of the broadhead from the target forms in the target a first elongated slit and a second elongated slit bisecting the first elongated slit.

Abstract
A broadhead, comprising an elongated body defining a longitudinal axis and having a forward portion, a tip portion, and a rearward portion spaced from the forward portion. At least one forward blade is connected to the forward portion and configured for movement relative to the elongated body between a retracted position generally adjacent the elongated body to an extended position extending outwardly from the elongated body. And, at least one rearward blade connected to the rearward portion and configured for movement relative to the elongated body between a retracted position generally adjacent the elongated body to an extended position extending outwardly from the elongated body.

11. A broadhead, comprising:
-
an elongated body including a forward portion having a tip, and a rearward portion spaced from the forward portion a pivot pin fixedly engaging the elongated body; a block fixedly engaging the elongated body; at least one forward blade pivotally connected to the forward portion of the body, the forward blade having a forward lever extending therefrom, wherein; when the forward blade pivots outwardly about the pivot pin upon ingress of the broadhead into the target, the forward blade extends from the elongated body to a deployed position; the forward blade moves rearward with respect to both the pivot pin and block upon ingress of the broadhead into the target; and the block acts as a blade lock to lock the forward blade in the deployed position when the forward blade pivots outwardly upon ingress of the broadhead into the target; and at least one rearward blade pivotally connected to the rear portion of the body, the rearward blade having a rearward lever extending therefrom; wherein the at least one forward blade and the at least one rearward blade are independently movable between a respective retracted position adjacent the elongated body to an extended position extending outwardly from the elongated body. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
