heat harden the tip of the shaft first in a fire , by burning it , scrape off the charcoal , sharpen and you're done

Depends on how primitive you want to be. 38 special cases while not primitive but are very traditional make a great blunt or taper the shaft and screw on a 3/8" nut a great small game point called the nutter. You can wrap the end of the arrow with soft copper wire.  If you use cane or bamboo shafts just insert a nail for a weight forward blunt.  What I shoot mostly are home made trade points.        Kenneth
