Why are the blades curved instead of straight like almost all other broadheads?
Curved blades cost substantially more to produce than blades with straight cutting surfaces. However, curved blades provide too many advantages over straight blades not to use them. 1: The curved blade on the AfterShock models increases its cutting attack angle the farther from the body it gets. This feature reduces the leverage (and pass through energy required) on the ferrule of the broadhead allowing it to stay on a more consistent path through the game. 2: This same curved cutting surface allows the blade to slice more efficiently (rather than try to chop) and conserves more energy (like a Samurai sword vs. a straight sword). Finally, AfterShock would not settle for anything less.
