Description
English:

Metal point.

Factory-made metal arrowheads were first introduced to American Indians by Europeans. Their adoption helped the bow and arrow remain a popular hunting technology among the Plains peoples up until the second half of the Nineteenth Century, when repeating rifles matched and surpassed the bow and arrow’s ease of use, reliability, and effectiveness for hunting.
