* Pros: Combine the advantages of fixed-blade and mechanical broadheads, such as fixed blades durability and accuracy in conjunction with mechanical design that expands.
* Cons: Not common amongst most archers on the market or widely produced and distributed compared to fixed or mechanical blades. Often, the hybrid category of broadheads can be pricier due to the innovation within its engineering and complex engineering and manufacturing. There might not be universal compatibility amongst most arrows or configurations without proper modification or the acquisition of additional accessory equipment required to mount these hybrids to certain shafts..
