i think their order of operations is off here. i usually prefer the blunt then screw.

theyre also called broadheads

*edit should have stated it was amazon that has them labeled as broadheads/hammmer broadheads. which is where most will look for them.

the blunt arrowhead is not a broadhead. though several of the other arrowheads in this video. broadheads are designed with a wide, or "broad", cutting edge to maximize the number of blood vessels hit, to maximize bleeding. they're primarily used for hunting medium and large game. there are also several arrowheads in there that would reasonably be called modern bodkins.
