You should hear a slight click as the spring forces each closed.
After all three blades are open, close them one by one. To quickly test your broadhead, open each blade one by one making sure to keep your fingers clear from the sharp edges. Finish tightening your broadhead in place and make sure there is no space between the top of the cup and the back of the ferrule of your broadhead. At this point, rotate the cup and make sure the slots are lined up with the blades.
Continue to tighten your broadhead until the cup is nearly snug against the rear of the blades. To complete the assembly of your Grim Reaper broadhead, place the threads of the ferrule into your arrow insert and turn your arrow clockwise. In fact, you may find it simpler to first attach your broadhead while the cup spins freely on the rear of the ferrule. It is not required for the cup to sit so far forward as to compress the spring prior to screwing your broadhead onto your arrow. Lastly, slide the cup with the 3 blade slots facing forward. Next, slide the spring in place behind the notch ring. Once you completed the previous steps, locate the notch ring and slide it directly behind the pivot ring and blades, all the while maintaining pressure on the bottom edge of the blades to keep them closed. Failure to place the key in between the gap of the pivot ring could cause broadhead failure and possibly injury during future use. DO NOT continue assembly until this has been completed. With all of the blades folded forward, slide the pivot ring and blades forward towards the business end of the broadhead and make sure the key sits in the gap of the pivot ring. Repeat this step for each of the three blades.Īfter all three of the blades are connected and you have rotated the pivot ring through the last blade, the gap in the pivot ring should sit directly beneath the key on the ferrule. Once the blade is in place, simply line up the hole in the blade with the pivot ring and slowly rotate the pivot ring so that it goes through the hole in the blade and away from the key. Line the gap in the pivot ring up with the groove and place one blade into the groove with the sharp edge of the blade facing the tip of the broadhead. You will also want to locate the key (appears as a ridge on the ferrule) and use this as a starting point. Slide the pivot ring over the rear of the broadhead ferrule and up at least to the end of the grooves cut along the ferrule. The pivot ring is used to hold the blades in place on your broadhead. To begin re-assembly, first locate the ferrule and the pivot ring.
