Description
Third time’s the charm, especially when you’ve got three chances to find your mark. This set of three Iron Broadtail Arrowheads takes us back to the turbulent days of the Middle Ages, a time when battles raged across Europe and the Holy Land during the Crusades. Archers were essential on the battlefield, their bows and arrows wielded by knights and foot soldiers alike.
These arrowheads are forged from cast iron, shaped with broad, barbed points that were designed not just to pierce but to stay lodged within the target. Unlike a simple bodkin point that passes cleanly through, a barbed arrowhead like this one makes extraction a brutal affair. When the arrowhead is stopped inside flesh or armor, pulling it out tears deeper wounds, doubling the injury inflicted. This design was particularly feared in close combat and hunting alike, as it made the arrow a more deadly weapon by causing grievous damage both on impact and when removed.

Fun fact: The barbs on iron broadtail arrowheads were sometimes sharpened and angled to make removal nearly impossible, a feature that made such arrows as much a psychological weapon as a physical one on the medieval battlefield.
