If you like to hunt, you know there will always be a story about the one that got away. Keith Powell, founder of Afflictor Broadheads, wanted to diminish the potential for such stories to exist. Here’s some more information. Afflictor Broadheads K2-Hybrid Broadhead with Drivekey Technology The intense debate amongst bowhunters has come to a win-win solution! New from Afflictor Broadheads, the K2-Hybrid combines traditional confidence with brilliant mechanical engineering methods to give archers the first true hybrid broadhead. The K2-Hybrid features Afflictor's patented Drivekey Technology. The Drivekey fully deploys the surgically sharp stainless steel blades immediately on contact to their 1-¾ inch cutting diameter and positions the blades to a structurally sound fixed and locked position. Drivekey Technology also enables the K2-Hybrid's ability to remain closed during flight, until target contact, on arrow speeds ranging from 450+ fps for crossbows, down to the slower speeds of a traditional recurve setup, and everything in between. Drivekey Technology makes the K2-Hybrid a mechanical broadhead during arrow flight and a true fixed blade broadhead immediately upon target entry, distinguishing it from any other industry design. Engineered in 100- and 125-grain designs, K2-Hybrid also serves as its own practice tip, saving money from purchasing extra practice tips. Placing the included “Loc-n-Pin” in the Drivekey slot disables the Drivekey from deploying the blades while practicing, enabling easy arrow removal and protecting the blades' cutting edges. When finished practicing, press the “Loc-n-Pin” out of the slot and the K2-Hybrid is ready to hunt. Afflictor's K2-Hybrid design ushers in new disruptive technology to the bowhunting industry and raises the expectations of serious bowhunters loyal to both fixed and mechanical broadhead designs. Afflictor guarantees the K2-Hybrid to remain closed in flight and fully deploy immediately upon target impact, or your money back. Let the K2-Hybrid be the reason your next blood trail leads to a happy ending. Here's a short video. If you would like to learn more about Afflictor Broadheads, you can find them online right here.
