Abstract: A dual spreading arrowhead has components and operations that cut on contact with an animal. The dual spreading arrowhead has a left blade and a right blade mutually pinned to a head. The head secures to a shaft of an arrow. The left blade and the right blade each have a pointed tip and two sharpened edges. Opposite the tip, each blade has a rounded foot that travels within a slot through the head and upon a shaped spacer. Between the foot and the tip, each blade has a spine not sharpened. The arrowhead has a flight position with the tips near each other but not overlapped and a deployed position with the blades rotated outwardly and the sharpened edges mutually forward. The arrowhead utilizes the momentum of the flying arrow shaft to adjust the invention from the flight position to the deployed position.

Abstract: A barbed fishing arrowhead has a ferrule having an aft end and an opposite fore end, a head adjoining to the fore end, a tip upon the head, and two barbs cooperatively engaging the head. The barbs fit within a chamber in the ferrule and rotate upon a pin also in a slot. The chamber includes an interior bumper towards the aft end that partially extends the barbs when retracted in the flight position. The barbs rotate outwardly following passage of the ferrule through a fish and engage the side of a fish until released by a fisherman. In an alternate embodiment, the invention has a smaller form with barbs having a sharper point and a tooth upon their leading edge.
