Speed Crossbow Steel Broadhead — Maximum Momentum for Crossbow Hunters
Crossbow hunters shoot different. Higher speeds, heavier bolts, and a platform that demands a broadhead built specifically for the application. The Speed Crossbow Steel 125 delivers exactly that — a 125-grain mechanical broadhead with a hardened steel ferrule, CNC-machined chisel tip, razor-sharp .039-inch stainless steel blades, and Speed Reactive Technology that guarantees full deployment on contact. With a massive 2-inch cut and an 11/32-inch base specifically designed for crossbow bolts, the Crossbow Steel 125 is purpose-built to handle the kinetic energy your crossbow generates and turn it into devastating results downrange. Sold as a 3-pack with free 60-day returns and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Key Features
Hardened Steel Ferrule — Built for Crossbow Energy Levels
Crossbows generate significant kinetic energy — more than most compound bow setups — and that energy is transferred to the broadhead at impact. The Speed Crossbow Steel 125 uses a hardened steel ferrule specifically suited to handle the momentum and impact forces that crossbow hunters generate. It's a material choice that reflects the demands of the platform this broadhead was designed for.
CNC-Machined Chisel Tip — Precise, High-Energy Entry
The CNC-machined chisel tip is engineered for consistent, precise entry on every shot. Chisel tips are designed to push through bone rather than deflect off it — keeping the broadhead on course and maintaining forward momentum through the toughest shots in the field. CNC machining ensures every tip is identical, so you get the same entry performance from every broadhead in the pack.
Speed Reactive Technology — Full Deployment Every Time
Speed Reactive Technology ensures complete blade deployment on contact, regardless of angle or impact location. Full deployment on every shot means the full 2-inch cut is delivered consistently — not just on perfect broadside shots, but on the quartering and marginal angles that happen in real hunting situations.
.039" Stainless Steel Blades — Razor Sharp, Built to Last
At .039-inch thick, the stainless steel blades are rigid enough to hold their edge through bone contact while maintaining the sharp cutting geometry needed to create clean wound channels. Razor sharp out of the package, built to deliver the kind of damage that makes blood trails easy to follow even in thick cover.
2-Inch Cut Diameter
Two inches of cutting diameter from a crossbow setup is an extremely effective combination. The high kinetic energy of a crossbow bolt paired with a 2-inch cut means massive entry and exit wounds, rapid hemorrhaging, and shorter tracking distances. This is the combination that recovers more game.
11/32-Inch Base — Purpose-Built for Crossbow Bolts
The Crossbow Steel 125 features an 11/32-inch base specifically designed for crossbow bolts — not adapted from a compound bow broadhead. This matters for proper fit, consistent flight, and reliable deployment at crossbow velocities. If you're shooting a crossbow, you need a broadhead built for the platform, and the Crossbow Steel 125 delivers exactly that.
125 Grain — Optimal Weight for Crossbow Applications
At 125 grains, the Crossbow Steel 125 adds front-of-center weight to your bolt setup, increasing penetration potential and stabilizing flight at crossbow speeds. The added grain weight relative to a 100-grain head makes a meaningful difference in momentum retention through the target.
Who It's Built For
The Speed Crossbow Steel 125 is for crossbow hunters who want a purpose-built mechanical broadhead that matches the performance of their platform. Whether you're hunting whitetails from a blind, running hogs at night, or shooting elk in open country with a crossbow, this broadhead is engineered to maximize the kinetic energy your setup generates and turn it into clean, recoverable kills. 125 grains, 3 to a pack, available in 100gr and 125gr configurations.

Why Extreme Outfitters Recommends It
Too many crossbow hunters use broadheads that were designed for compound bows and adapted for crossbow use — and then wonder why they get inconsistent results. The Speed Crossbow Steel 125 was built for crossbows from the ground up. The hardened steel ferrule, 11/32-inch base, CNC chisel tip, and Speed Reactive Technology are all decisions made with crossbow kinetic energy and bolt dimensions in mind. If you're running a crossbow and want a mechanical broadhead that was actually designed for your platform, the Crossbow Steel 125 is the one. Questions about bolt compatibility or setup? Call us Monday through Saturday — real people answer the phone at Extreme Outfitters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a crossbow broadhead need an 11/32-inch base?
Crossbow bolts typically use a smaller diameter shaft than standard compound bow arrows, and the insert threads are designed around the 11/32-inch standard. Using a broadhead with the correct base size ensures a proper fit, consistent spin, and reliable deployment. This is why Speed Broadheads built the Crossbow Steel with an 11/32-inch base rather than adapting a standard compound bow broadhead.
Why 125 grains for crossbow use?
Many crossbow manufacturers recommend 100-125 grain broadheads for their platforms. The added grain weight of the 125-grain option increases front-of-center balance, which improves bolt flight stability and penetration momentum. The heavier head is particularly beneficial at the high speeds crossbows generate, where a slightly heavier tip helps maintain a stable flight path and drives deeper on impact.
Will the Crossbow Steel 125 work on my crossbow?
The Crossbow Steel 125 is designed for crossbow bolts with standard 11/32-inch inserts. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific crossbow bolts, give us a call and we'll confirm the right fit before you order.
What is Speed Reactive Technology?
Speed Reactive Technology is Speed Broadheads' deployment system that ensures full, consistent blade opening on contact regardless of arrow speed or impact angle. It's designed to eliminate the partial deployment and inconsistent performance that affect some mechanicals at higher speeds or on non-broadside shots.
Is there a version of this broadhead for compound bows?
Yes. Speed Broadheads makes the Titanium 100 and Crosscut 100 for compound bow use — both featuring compound-bow-specific base sizing. This listing is the crossbow-specific version. We carry all three at Extreme Outfitters.
How many come in a pack?
The Speed Crossbow Steel 125 comes 3 to a pack at $99, backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee and free 60-day returns.
