ABSTRACT:
An arrow point for hunting practice and for archery target use. The point has a smooth, uniquely-contoured, enveloping wall and includes a probe-like head, a body section, and an intermediate coupler section. The head is formed with a relatively large, forwardly-projecting, tapering tip blending with and extending forwardly from a generally cylindrical, rearwardly-displaced end sector. The body section is also generally cylindrical but has a diameter exceeding that of the head. The intermediate coupler section, which is coaxial with the head and the body section, defines longitudinally-spaced, double-inflection zones including a first zone as a junction blended with the head, and a second zone at a junction blending at the body section. The structure described has a peripheral configuration facilitating penetrating entry of the arrow point into a mat-like target. The entry is effected with minimum disruption of and with minimal friction damage to a target mat during high-speed, forced impingement of the arrow point thereagainst, and upon penetration therewithin during target use. The unique configuration and peripheral contour of the arrow point allow the mat to open with minimum destructive effects and allow arrows to enter smoothly and thus prevent the usual mat deterioration caused by the fast arrows.
