AMMUNITION

Field-point Arrows

Mainly used for target practice, field-point tips are made to fly smoothly through the air and pulled off from a target with the least amount of force.

These are more accurate than broadheads but are illegal for use in hunting because these make smaller entrance holes which causes an animal to suffer slow deaths.

Broadhead Arrows

Broadhead tips are used for hunting alone. These are designed to pierce through thick animal hide and vitals with lethal entry wounds while making noticeable blood trails.

These are highly affected by external conditions during flight due to its blade surface and blade count.
