By the way, what really _is_ # 341? I can read that it is a "Shocker
100 arrowhead" which:

"Five spring-steel claws grip turf and prevent the arrow from
burrowing into the ground. Tremendous shocking power for small game
hunting. Perfect for precision stump shooting. Sold in packages of
2."

But I still wonder what it /does/.


Like a Judo point. Its used for small game shooting. When shooting at
low angles an arrow tends to slither along the ground and may wind up
in a different place/direction than when you last saw it.

The fingers catch on grass tufts and so forth, slowing it down very
quickly and in fact, may cause the arrow to pop upwards at the nock
end so its easily seen and retrieved.

When shooting a rabbit or small game, the fingers grab fur, guts,
tendons and internal organs and simply rip them out.
Death is usually instantaneous.
