not legal in Washington state due to barbs, but I think any SHARP reasonably-sized broadhead that hits the lungs broadside would do the job. The wide one above would be too wide for my taste, but the narrow one would be awesome. The key is good steel and sharp, and about 3 times as long as it is wide. And of course well tuned to the bow.

Just a point of interest, the swallow tail heads like the pics aaron posted were war heads. Any medieval hunting points I've seen in books or exhibits were barbless willow leaf style. at least the English and Central European ones anyway.
