AFRICAN PLAINS GAME
Built for Plains Game
African plains game can range from smaller, fast-moving species to large-bodied animals with demanding shot angles and varied terrain.
Kudu, wildebeest, gemsbok, zebra, waterbuck, hartebeest, impala, sable and warthog can all place different demands on a broadhead. Speed gives hunters two ways to prioritize performance: Titanium for durability and structural strength, or Crosscut for penetration and cut-on-contact performance.

Match the Broadhead to the Animal
Species size, anatomy, shot angle, local regulations and outfitter requirements should all influence your final setup.
Prioritize structural strength, penetration and complete-arrow performance. Titanium is the durability-focused Speed option where legal and approved by your professional hunter.
Large body size and demanding impacts make durability and penetration major priorities. Titanium is the strength-focused option.
Large-animal setups should prioritize structural confidence, penetration and species-specific shot planning. Confirm local equipment requirements before hunting.
Titanium emphasizes durability and strength while Crosscut emphasizes penetration and cut-on-contact performance.
Durability and penetration both matter on dense-bodied wildebeest. Match the broadhead to the shot and complete arrow setup.
Choose Titanium when structural strength leads your priorities or Crosscut when penetration and cut-on-contact entry matter most.
Dense body structure makes shot angle, penetration and broadhead integrity important considerations.
Use the same priority-based approach: Titanium for durability and Crosscut for penetration-focused performance.
Match broadhead construction to shot conditions, animal size and your complete bow-and-arrow system.
Durability, penetration and shot placement should guide selection between Titanium and Crosscut.
Crosscut offers the penetration and cut-on-contact option while Titanium adds maximum ferrule durability.
Penetration through tough hide and dense tissue can make Crosscut a strong penetration-focused option.
AFRICA · DURABILITY + STRENGTH
The TI 100 Built for Strength
The TI 100 is the durability-focused Speed broadhead for African hunters who put ferrule strength, structural integrity and demanding-impact confidence at the top of the list.
Its one-piece Grade 5 titanium ferrule and chisel-tip design are engineered for structural strength while retaining Speed's Patented Piston Lock Technology, .039-inch EDM-cut stainless steel blades and a 2.0-inch cutting configuration.
AFRICA · PENETRATION + CUT ON CONTACT
The Speed Crosscut Built to Penetrate
The Speed Crosscut is the penetration-focused option for African hunters who want cut-on-contact entry and aggressive cutting performance.
The cut-on-contact leading edge begins cutting immediately at impact, while the 7068 aluminum ferrule keeps the platform purpose-built around penetration. The Speed Crosscut pairs that design with .039-inch EDM-cut stainless steel blades, a 2.0-inch cut and Patented Piston Lock Technology.
PATENTED PISTON LOCK TECHNOLOGY
Built to Stay Closed Built to Open on Impact
Speed's Patented Piston Lock Technology keeps the blades retained in flight and requires 1.5 lbs of force or less to initiate blade deployment.
The blades cannot open in flight. At impact, the rear-deploy system opens with minimal resistance and then locks the blades open after deployment.
AFRICAN FIELD PROOF
Built for the Recovery
Speed African game broadheads combine positive blade retention, low-force rear deployment, sharp .039-inch stainless steel blades and a 2.0-inch cutting configuration. The goal is dependable impact performance and a recovery path you can follow after a well-placed shot.
