Overview
Built for archers who want a dedicated small-game point, this head is suited to hunting squirrels and rabbits as well as stump shooting and practice. Its over-shaft mounting design gives you flexible setup options, with the included 25-grain screw or a field point used to adjust total weight to your preference. The pointed penetrating edges are intended to deliver strong impact while helping keep the head from burying deeply in the ground or target, which can make arrow retrieval easier. With its CNC-machined high carbon steel construction and black oxide finish, it is aimed at hunters who value a simple, durable setup for small-game use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The over-shaft design requires matching the head to your arrow outer diameter, so fit should be checked carefully before use.
- The Rip Claw is a 100-grain head, and the final setup weight depends on the included 25-grain screw or an added field point, so total weight varies by configuration.
- It is purpose-built for small game and stump shooting, so it is not a general-purpose broadhead for larger game applications.
- The black oxide finish adds protection, but like any coated steel component it still benefits from routine care after use.
