Looks like a kid made it

The midline was completely off on one side so bad that I wouldn't even consider putting it on a shaft.

Authentic-looking but non-standard taper

Chuck

This is one of the most authentic-looking reproduction medieval-style arrowheads I've seen. It is made in Pakistan, and doesn't look mass-produced. Is it hand-forged? Probably not, but it could be. As delivered, the edge is not sharp but can be sharpened with grinder or file. Socket taper is steeper than the industry-standard five degres but not as steep as nock taper. This read more calls for custom tapering of your shafts, and probably is not as secure as a standard taper. This point is advertised as "not for hunting" . . . so what else can you do with it? Not much except make replica medieval arrows for display. But when you do that, it looks pretty good! I'm making a comparative display of medieval-style points, including the wicked-looking 3 Rivers long bodkin, which I also highlty recommend.

A decent arrowhead....

I purchased these points with the intent of using them at historical reenactments (target shooting). I have yet to mount them to a shaft. They did have some rust on them, and likely will need to be cleaned and re-blackened. The edge is a little thick, but with some filing could easily be sharpened. In terms of their historical accuracy, I'm no expert, but they appear consistent read more with broadheads that I have seen in the archaeological record. A good investment for the price.

I was thirteen years old when I got these and the rest of my arrow making supplies. I was very pleased with the build of the heads. But I was a little disapointed with the oval heads... they weren't sharp enough for me. They are great.

Used in manufacture of medieval crossbow bolts. Great?- It is an arrow head. Appearance is that of a low quality cast product with some very rough charistics. Took substantial amount of time to get it up to the standards of our product.

Ok product

Ordered 6 of them. Big differences between each pieces. Some sockets are small, some big. Some are not aligned making straight shooting difficult.

Their great for my purpose

Great authentic arrowhead at a great price. I'm planning on getting more on the next order. They were used quite extensively in the Eastern European countries during the Middle Ages.

Asked by Bubba J 11 years ago

I saw that for the Medieval Socketed Arrowheads that it was said "at least an 11/32nds shaft" so which would be the better, 11/32nds or 23/64ths?

It is not that either one will be better or worse, you just need 11 years ago

It is not that either one will be better or worse, you just need to make sure that the shaft being used is not too small. Anything 11/32 or larger will work better than a 5/16.

Asked by yopapa 13 years ago

why not for hunting???

They are field point. The will not get the same penetration as 13 years ago

They are field point. The will not get the same penetration as a broadhead and will not create as big of a hole. It is always recommend that a sharp broadhead is used for hunting. You will need to check with your local game warden as well. Some states have restriction on what points are allowed for hunting.

Asked by TheArcher 13 years ago

How does this arrowhead do in penetrating armor? Will it go through two layers of armor, for instance a breastplate and chainmaille?

We have not done any testing to see the penetration ability of o 13 years ago

We have not done any testing to see the penetration ability of our medieval points on medieval armor. The bodkin point is very accurate on chain mail though (I saw it watching History Channel).

Asked by Airborne Archangel 13 years ago

What is the weight of these points?

I pulled 5 out of the box and weighted them. They ranged from 30 13 years ago

I pulled 5 out of the box and weighted them. They ranged from 300 grains up to 350 grains. These weights are just for the ones I weighted. The weight can vary from shipment to shipment. They are meant for replica arrows, so I would not advise to shoot with them.
