Different Type of Arrow
Bullet and Field Target Points
• Are designed to be shot into paper, foam targets, or grass-type targets.
• Can be matched to the weight of big game broad heads that a hunter plans to use during hunting season. Practicing with weight-matched target points minimizes bow sight adjustments before hunting.
Judo Points
• Are designed for field practice, and used while roving under simulated hunting conditions and selecting targets such as leaves, stumps, or sticks.• Have small, protruding wire springs
on the arrow point to prevent the arrow from disappearing when shot into ground cover.• Weigh the same as most popular
big game broad heads.
Blunt Points
• Work best for small game animals such as rabbits and squirrels.
• Are square-tipped instead of pointed and made from rubber, plastic, or steel.
• Kill by shock.• Many blunt points are made from
rubber or plastic. They flair out at the tip to form a much wider striking surface, which delivers more shock to the target.
• Used with flu-flu fletched shafts for squirrel hunting.
Bow fishing Points
• Made of steel and designed to penetrate the hard scales of carp, gar, and other rough fish.• Equipped with a strong barb to allow
retrieval of the fish.• Usually feature screw-off or
retractable barbs for easy removal from the fish.
