Aluminum or brass arrowheads

Sammakesbows:
Would either work for arrowheads? Could you mix them together?

Pat B:
As long as you aren't hunting big game. They would probably work fine for squirrels and rabbits or for target points.

Russ:
yeah i bet it would work just remember that both of those metals are pretty soft compared to iron, steel or rock.

dylanholderman:
i think that brass might work (there are a lot of surviving bronze arrow heads)  aluminium i think would be to soft and too light weight.

in the "Encyclopedia of native american bows, arrows, and quivers" by Allely and Hamm page 30 there are three brass arrowheads in the shape of barbered broad-heads, wither or not they were ever used in anybody's guess but they did exist.

Digital Caveman:
.38 casings and fancy field-points (probably meant just for targets) are brass, but I don't know of any brass broad heads.  How many times would you want to shoot one?
