Bad Boys Protection Collars
Bad Boysâ„¢ are an FOC arrow sleeve that slides over the shaft of your arrow, allowing your shot to carry more momentum for fatal penetration.
- Most popular sizes: 100gr and 125gr
- Fits Standard OR Micro Shaft Arrows
- Shoots great 20, 40, 60+ yards with only minor adjustments
- Effective shots with increased inertia
- Increase your shots momentum without sacrificing accuracy
- Easy to use and interchangeable, both in field and range
The Bad Boys™ are engineered to shoot where your current arrow is dialed in; It’ll hit the same place around 20-30 yards. With farther distances, like 40, 50, 60 yards, it will only need minor adjustments. We made a product that is easy to switch sleeve weights out in the field without having to fiddle with retuning!

No net gain
SHOT: 125gr
I shoot a Mathews Drenalin bow with a 27 1/2″ draw length and an average arrow speed of 255 fps @ the 20yd mark.
I like the concept of increasing the weight forward and the engineering required to use the same aim point was spot on!
I used the 125Gr bad boys and a 125 gr field point ( I didn’t have an opportunity to hunt with them as the season was closed)
I shot 3 arrows with and 3 arrows without the bad boys in each round at 20 and 30 yards.
What I found was that all arrows grouped well and penetrated into a brand new target within 1/2″ of each other. the arrows with the bad boys on them had an arrow speed drop of approx 30fps which negated any additional depth of penetration into the target. the concept is good and the engineering was great but with the loss of speed I could see no net gain.
Response from Pro-Tracker Archery
Thanks for your review, Dennis. The extra weight does slow down your arrow, which explains why you’re not seeing the net gain… HOWEVER the advantage is just the opposite! With more weight behind the broadhead/field tip, it’ll keep driving the arrow deeper— INCREASING penetration and accuracy. Please reach out if you have any questions or need any help.
Bad boys
SHOT: 100gr
Seemed to provide much better penetration. Accuracy was great.
Big Hit.
I got the 100gr Bad Boys and 6 arrows. I wanted to see how thought the arrows are and how big of a difference the Bad Boys made. I pretty much destroyed all 6 arrows and all 6 Bad Boys and 6 other top quality arrows that we won’t mention and I will definitely be buying new Bad Boys and Pro Tracker arrows they are that good.
Lots of hitting power
Was happy to receive these and put them to use on the range. They seem to have a lot of hitting power and fly very well. Very curious to see the damage that they can do on an elk
Great idea and well executed
This simple but effective device should improve on efficient animal harvesting. The ease of operation and added impact potential is innovative and needed.
Skeptic at first
SHOT: 100gr & 200gr
The idea of weighting my arrow down was with mixed feelings. I like the concept of having kinetic energy behind the arrow giving it more penetration when striking the target. I was worried about it being balanced and throwing off my accuracy. I was impressed with how it did hitting the target. He it hit the target hard and had great penetration. I tried my Arrows I used last year hunting with the 150 grain and the 200 grain bad boys. I like the 150 grain better for my set up and it performed much better then the 200 grain for penetration wise. the arrows I originally was using are good but the penetration was not as good alone. I used a practice tip and broadhead tips. I will be using the bad boys this year during my hunts. I plan on hunting in a couple of different states for different animals so the expectations are high. With more shooting these bad boys should increase my success rate. I will post more results after the hunts. That in my opinion is the true test.
At this point they are worth buying
Smack Down
I am going to make this simple, if you don’t buy this product you are an idiot. They are that good.
Got Penetration?
Well, you will if you’re hunting with the Bad Boys! These things are great, so easy to use, on and off the arrow in seconds. You can try different weights to find what works best for your situation. Just make sure your inserts are in tight or you might end up leaving one inside the target!
Hard hitting
These things are sweet. They hit hard and fly straight, just as intended. I’ve been very impressed with the overall setup and plan to hunt with them this fall. Once you understand how these bad boys work you’ll love them. Doesn’t matter if you’re shooting a bare arrow or a 300 grain bad boy it will hit the same spot under 30 yards if you know how to set them up. Very cool idea, the guys at ProTracker have done an excellent job on these.
An ingenious addition
Easy slip on fit, with color coding making it easy to grab the right one from the quiver, even when in a hurry. A simple design that is easy to add or remove as needed or not, and that doesn’t interfere otherwise with normal function of the bow and arrow.
