Archery arrow head

Abstract

Abstract The improved archery arrow head of the present invention is of unitary, integral, one piece plastic construction and includes a main body having a longitudinally extending thickened central core, the body being narrow at its front end and wide at its rear end and generally triangular shaped in plan view. The front end terminates in a forwardly directed sharp point and the rear end defines a forwardly extending opening adapted to receive an arrow shaft. A pair of rearwardly diverging blades which are generally triangular in plan view form the sides of the body and have peripherally disposed cutting edges, the serrations of which are forwardly directed. A central, longitudinal reinforcing and wedging bar extends from the point to adjacent the rear end and projects above and below the main plane of the blades. That main plane is about horizontal. A second smaller pair of blades may be disposed in a vertical plane at the midline of the head. The forward end of the smaller blades begins rearwardly of the forward end of the horizontal blades and the reinforcing and wedging bar extends forward of both pairs of blades. The head is generally diamond shaped in cross section and the blades are generally triangular shaped in cross section. The head is strong, durable, efficient, of very low cost and reusable. The wedging bar aids penetration of the head, as do the forwardly directed serrations.
