These arrows are used in SCA combat archery to minimise injury.

They use a standard arrow shaft with flights, except that a specialised tip is used instead of using a metal point. There are a variety of acceptable tip designs. The most common are:

Most kingdoms only use the Markland design for a variety of reasons. Lochac uses the Riverhaven design which results in far more archery being incorporated into wars.

They don't fly as nicely as your regular arrow (in fact, they wobble around an awful lot) but these are the sacrifices we make when playing such a game. Although, there are many people who can get incredibly accuracy using them.
