Mods I am sorry to disturb you but could you put this post in "The Famous Longbow" topic under the "Monastery" forum.Thanks.I am a junior member so i can't do it myself.

The most reliable and effective arrowheads are those which are either triangular or square (i.e. in cross-section). These are for use in battle and for piercing iron and all kinds of armour. There are various types of arrowheads, of which the most useful are those just mentioned. The haydari head (a broadhead for hunting?)' is not as good as either of these two kinds. Target heads (nusul al-ahdaf) should be rounded. There is also a kind of head resembling an olive, which, some masters have told me, is the most useful of all arrowheads for battle and for piercing shields and which in Turkish territory is used by archers more than any other type. They also have an arrowhead resembling a chisel. Like the maydani it is cylindrical, but its tip is not pointed. On the contrary, it looks as if it has been cut obliquely from its lineal midpoint and tapered to a blade on two opposite sides so as to present the appearance of a scalpel. The edge of the blade is as wide as the diameter of the body. I have tested this head and found that it will pierce the laminae of a brigandine (qarqal) as well as it is possible to do so.
