If I remember correctly they're used for small game and bird hunting. A
direct hit will kill or stun a small animal while the outspread tines will
hang the arrow up in the tall grass in case of a miss making the arrow
easier to retrieve.

My first thought was a fishing arrow head, but after looking at it, I
can't imagine how it would work . What kind of arrowhead do you think
it is? Sam
