Arrow point for small game

Abstract

An arrow point for small game includes a point body which may be styled as either a blunt point or a field point and which is slotted through its distal end so as to receive a bleeder blade. The slot which is machined into the distal end of the point body has a substantially uniform slot width and defines a bottom surface. The bleeder blade which is installed into the point body is designed to be replaceable and to assemble to the point body with an interference fit. The bleeder blade includes a pair of oppositely disposed cutting edges and has a substantially centered relief notch defining an upper edge. The bleeder blade has a substantially uniform thickness which is dimensioned so as to create a line-to-line or slight interference fit in the point body slot. The bleeder blade is assembled in the point body such that the relief notch is aligned with the slot such that the bottom surface of the slot contacts the upper edge of the bleeder blade notch and the distal end of the point body axially protrudes beyond the bleeder blade.
