I had one spilt on me this morning,luckily it was just a practice arrow with a field pile.I'm going to bind all my nocks from now on,especially with the heavy heads.

markinengland:
Very nice arrows. Have you shoot them yet?
I was interested to read in Hugh Soar's Secrets of the English Warbow that the swallowtail was so effective at armour. This head seemed almost as effective in most instances as the bodkin, probably due to the weight as much as anything else.

Isn't it the case that a flatish head pierces armour best? I've not seen the armour piercing DVD from SPTA, but I heard rumours that a lozenge shaped head worked best. Does anyone know exactly what type of head that was? e.g. type 16 or tudor bodkin for example?

Loki:
Do you mean the 9A?
