Question: Are serrated blades legal in all states and are they considered barbed heads?

Answer: Serrated heads are legal worldwide except in Ontario, Canada. Serrated heads should not be confused with barbed heads which refer to the rear edge of the blade. That edge cannot form an angle less than 90 degrees with the shaft or ferrule. In other words the rear edge cannot angle forward. Some newer heads on the market have forgotten this small detail and thier heads are illegal in many states and foreign countries.




Don, this is the reason why! The back Edge is less than 90* from the Shaft or Ferrule! It's not the serrrated edges that are illegal in Ontario, Canada ONLY, Not all ofCanada.Any broadhead that the back edges are less than 90* from the shaft or ferrule are illegal in Ontario, ONLY! We are talking about Canada not the US,I am doing a research on US now!
