What types of arrowheads are permitted on public archery ranges?

Field points and target points are the types of arrowheads typically permitted on public archery ranges. These arrowheads are specifically designed for practice and competition, providing the necessary accuracy and consistency needed in a range setting.

Field points are commonly used for target archery and are effective for target shooting without causing excessive damage to the targets. Target points, which are often similar in design, are specifically made for that purpose as well. Their designs are focused on enhancing the overall performance of the archers while ensuring safety and preserving the integrity of the targets used at the range.

In contrast, other types of arrowheads, while useful in certain contexts like hunting or fishing, can cause significant wear and tear on archery targets or may pose safety risks when used in non-hunting environments. For example, broadheads are designed for hunting and can cause significant damage to targets; blunts and judo points are intended for small game hunting and can create obstacles in a standard archery range. Thus, understanding the purpose and proper use of different arrowhead types is crucial for maintaining safety and the condition of range equipment.
