Historical Context and Practical Use
This point design draws inspiration from the medieval Bodkin points used throughout the 14th and 15th centuries. These slender, needle-like tips were the bane of knights, as they were specifically designed to penetrate chainmail and find gaps in plate armour. Interestingly, English longbowmen at the Battle of Agincourt used various Bodkin styles depending on the thickness of the enemy's protection. Today, this shape is favoured for target archery because its slim profile allows for easy removal from targets and reduces wear on the target boss.
Maintenance and Safety Guidelines
To ensure your points remain in top condition, follow these simple steps:
- Always wipe the points dry after shooting in damp conditions and apply a light coat of gun oil or wax.
- Check that the point is tightly screwed in before every shot.
- Never shoot at hard surfaces like stone, brick, or metal, as this will deform the steel and could cause the arrow shaft to shatter.
- Always treat bows and arrows with respect. Even a target point can cause lethal injury if used incorrectly.
We recommend supplementing your kit with a set of matching aluminium arrows and high-quality string wax for your bow.
