Dan, The arrowhead (called a bodkin) was its tradename it is actually a large trilobate made from pressed steel weighing 7 grams (i think thats about a third of an ounce or 120 grains i also used a steel broadhead weighing 8 grams (135 grains) both went through the steel mop bucket, both heads were damaged enough for them to not be used again but niether penetrated the linen when shot from the long bow ( I am sad to say that my long bow has since snapped one of its arms and i am going to have to make myself another but i still have the compound bow) as far as wind resistence for these arrowheads just by looking at them i would assume (i know, i know you should not assume anything) that the trilobate will have 1/3 more resistence than the broadhead , but i will check it out!
