Understanding the Difference Between Deep Six and 8-32 Broadheads
When it comes to archery equipment, one of the most common questions we hear at SEVR is: What’s the difference between Deep Six vs. 8-32 broadheads? Let’s break it down to help you make the best choice for your setup.
Deep Six: A Precision Thread Pattern
Deep Six is a smaller thread pattern compared to the standard 8-32. Developed by Easton about a decade ago for their Injection series arrows, Deep Six was designed to complement their Hidden Insert Technology (HIT) for micro-diameter arrows.
These hidden inserts go deeper into the arrow shaft, improving durability and performance. By reducing breakages and increasing passthrough reliability, Deep Six continues to be a favorite for those who demand precision.
What Arrows Use Deep Six?
While Deep Six is not typically included as a stock option with most arrows today, it can still be purchased aftermarket. If your setup includes outserts, standard inserts, or crossbow bolts, you’ll need to stick with the standard 8-32 thread pattern.
The Benefits of Deep Six Broadheads
Despite its niche application, Deep Six offers several key advantages:
- Durability: The hidden insert and collar system enhance the arrow’s durability, particularly at the front end.
- Performance: The system reduces the likelihood of breakages and ensures clean passthroughs.
At SEVR, we offer at least two Deep Six options: the Hybrid 1.5 and the Titanium 1.75.
How to Ensure a Proper Fit
To check if your broadhead matches your arrow, simply try threading it in:
- If it slides in and out without threading, you may have mismatched a Deep Six broadhead with an 8-32 arrow, or vice versa.
- 8-32 threads will immediately engage for a secure fit.
