The Medieval Iron Broadtail Arrowhead has inverted points designed to catch flesh and cause agonizing pain upon removal. A barbed arrow is no more damaging than a standard arrow if the head strikes and passes completely through its target. However, if the Medieval Archers Companion Iron Broadtail Arrowhead is halted in mid-body then extracting it is very difficult. The damage originally done by the arrow is inflicted a second time when removing a barbed arrowhead from someones flesh. This means it effectively does double damage. Overall Length: 6 Centimeters.
