Abstract

A cutting wheels archery broadhead includes a ferrule with an upper fork, a lower fork and a forward tip. An upper sharpened cutter wheel is rotatably mounted in the upper fork. A lower sharpened cutter wheel is rotatably mounted in the lower fork and such wheels overlap within the ferrule. A sharpened arrowhead is mounted in the forward tip portion of the ferrule to assist in broadhead penetration and rotational cutting of the cutter wheels.

Claims

1. A cutting wheels archery broadhead, comprising:

a) a ferrule with an upper fork, a lower fork and a forward tip;
