Those flats run down the shaft very far?  Are the holes for the tether thru the flats? hhhm, maybe the tether is simply tied round the shaftinstead? Maybe just easier to drill a hole on a flat surface than a rounded one - I guess that may be another reason for them...I could be waaaaay off here too! Just thinking outside the box abit.

half eye:
Eastern, there aren't any holes drilled in the shaft.....just one thru the head and one into the bone foresaft to loosely accept the head.

Diligence:
Is it possible that the flats allow for a more hydro-dynamic shape?  Perhaps the arrow tracks better when shot into the water?

Beautifully done harpoon arrow, Rich.  Can't for the life of me think why the flats need to be there, though...

That would sure work wonders for any kinds of "fishing" - otters, carp, gar, tilapia.  Much better for us wood bow types than the fiberglass shaft fishing arrow.. 

half eye:
Ken,
      Never thought of it that way, I'd say you are right....would make a great water hunting arrow, just may have to try that out. Only fish we can bow-hunt during the summer is the rough fish.....so I'll sure find out how tough they are for real.
