Abstract: An controlled penetration arrow tip which has a penetration enhancing section at the point which is followed by an energy imparting or energy transferring section. This energy imparting section may resist complete penetration of an animal or penetration into unintended material, such as trees. The body and/or trailing end may be tapered to improve penetration or aerodynamic characteristics. Facets or scallops may be used on the impacting end, body, and/or trailing end in order to improve aerodynamic characteristics. The trailing end may be truncated, flared, flanged, or otherwise made larger than the arrow shaft to increase the damage of tissue and/or the energy transferring characteristics and/or to render removal from animal difficult. This truncated section may be split, cut, notched, or otherwise separated to improve aerodynamic and/or tissue damaging characteristics.

Abstract: A martial arts throwing and hand-held weapon that has a generally oblong frame that includes parallel opposite side members, a rear bar that connects rearward ends of the side members, and a pair of oblique front members that converge from forward ends of the side members to an apex from which extends forwardly a pointed weapon tip.

Abstract: An arrow point for hunting practice and for archery target use. The point has a smooth, uniquely-contoured, enveloping wall and includes a probe-like head, a body section, and an intermediate coupler section. The head is formed with a relatively large, forwardly-projecting, tapering tip blending with and extending forwardly from a generally cylindrical, rearwardly-displaced end sector. The body section is also generally cylindrical but has a diameter exceeding that of the head. The intermediate coupler section, which is coaxial with the head and the body section, defines longitudinally-spaced, double-inflection zones including a first zone as a junction blended with the head, and a second zone at a junction blending at the body section. The structure described has a peripheral configuration facilitating penetrating entry of the arrow point into a mat-like target.
