There's much ado about the pointy end of a broadhead these days. It seems that a certain broadhead study was performed in the mid 1980's on tough African game and certain conclusions were reached about broadhead design. We'll dive into that subject on a later discussion, but for now, let's get straight to the point. Somehow, despite being touted as inefficient arrow launchers, medium weight straight-end longbows have been pushing medium weight arrows through big game for a very long time. What contributes to that efficiency? In my opinion, the first thing to touch an animal is the most important. The tip of the broadhead.
