The basic idea behind RAM Broadheads is a technologically advanced Ashby style, highly penetrating, premium broadhead arrow concept for ethical bowhunting.

Our design goals are,

Perfect arrow flight;
Highest structural integrity;
Highest penetration performance;
High versatility;
Easy maintenance and value retention.

The hunting moment of a lifetime can come at any time. As a hunter, you want to be sure that you can rely on your equipment. We therefore wanted to create the best hunting tip for the perfect penetrator.

The most important features of RAM broadheads are:

CNC machined single bevel cut-on-contact broadhead with robust, blunted tanto tip.
High structural integrity and robustness due to seamless construction of blades and ferrule with high quality materials.
High mechanical advantage and a slim blade cross-section of 1.5mm.
Single bevel with straight cutting edges with an angle of 30° which is very easy to sharpen with the “Grind Relief”.

Perfect arrow flight is the basis of arrow penetration. Because the most important thing about the shot is the hit. The symmetry and concentricity of the arrow must be impeccable. This is why all components are CNC-machined from solid material to tight tolerances.

It is crucial for an optimal penetration effect that the broadhead retains its structural integrity and sharpness even when penetrating heavy bone. We have therefore chosen the integral “single-bevel design” for RAM broadheads and equipped them with high-quality materials. In addition, we have ensured a seamless and rigid connection without notches between blade and ferrule. RAM Broadheads have a robust tanto-shaped blade tip and a small cross-section of the razor-sharp cutting edges, with a cutting edge angle of approx. 30°. We have thus eliminated critical weak points of classic broadhead concepts and low-performance materials.

As the aim is to achieve maximum penetration performance when bowhunting, the best physical design principle is the cut-on-contact broadhead with 2 cutting edges. One of the most important parameters here is the “mechanical advantage” - also known as the slenderness ratio of the broadhead. The longer a broadhead is compared to its width, the easier it penetrates a body. Doubling the ratio of length to width also doubles the penetration performance of a broadhead. We have taken care to maximize the “mechanical advantage” in our design. With MA 1.96, the TuffGame 200+ is the technological leader in its class. RAM broadheads also feature the single-bevel design. This makes it possible to burst heavy bones with the right arrow weight and thus clear the way for the hunting arrow through the vital center.

RAM broadheads also have a variable weight concept, the CWS Core Weight System, which ensures the highest possible dead weight in the broadhead itself. This enables arrow setups with an extremely high FOC value, allowing the hunting arrow to penetrate large amounts of vital tissue much more easily with a smooth shot, even after hitting a heavy bone. This also allows the hunting arrow weight to be quickly and easily adjusted to the hunting situation without having to rebuild the entire hunting arrow every time. This makes RAM Broadheads the most versatile broadhead solution on the market.

With our design and a sensible choice of materials, we have also ensured that the broadhead is easy to maintain and retains its value for many more hunting moments by replacing individual components that may be damaged, such as the adapter.

All this “Made in Germany”

When selecting materials, the following aspects were important to us for a premium broadhead.

Each element of the hunting arrow and broadhead places different demands on the material. We want to provide the best performing material concept for each component. This excludes the possibility of major components being made of aluminum or brass. In addition to the optimum arrow flight, there are other properties of a broadhead that are decisive for hunting success. These are robustness in every hunting situation, very good edge retention, good sharpenability and, in order to be able to hunt in any weather without worry, adequate corrosion resistance.
In addition to the construction of the broadhead, robustness is also determined by the toughness and strength of the material. The edge retention is determined by the cutting edge stability. How well a broadhead can be sharpened depends on the one hand on its hardness, but above all on the wear resistance of the material.
The sensible choice of the right material and its heat treatment ensure that the necessary properties for a broadhead can be achieved as optimally as possible.

The blade therefore consists of a forged piece of X50CrMoV8-1-1 with 60HRC, also known as chipper steel. Based on our experience, we have found a very functional mix of properties in this alloy. X50CrMoV8-1-1 is a corrosion-resistant tool steel. Even at the hardness of 60HRC, it is extremely tough, especially in cold environments.
The toughness of the cutting edge and blade body of RAM-Broadheads with X50CrMoV8-1-1 steel at 60HRC is superior to that of materials used by the competition such as

1.2363 (AISI A2) steel, is 2.5 times higher,
1.4112 (AISI 440 type) steel, 5.5 times higher,
S30V steel, 7.5 times higher.

In addition, X50CrMoV8-1-1 steel is corrosion resistant. Its degree of corrosion resistance is twice as high as that of the 12% chromium tool steel 1.2379 (AISI D2), which is often used for handmade knives.

All RAM Broadheads have two slim blades with straight cutting edges featuring an edge angle of 30° and a groove called the "Grind Relief".

The "Grind Relief" additionally reduces the grinding area and thus the grinding effort by approx. 40%, making it very easy to regrind RAM Broadheads.
