RE: How to pass on the need to survive ! - bigpaul - 8 January 2012 can you fit broadheads onto ordinary (non crossbow) arrows?? all the ones i see for sale are threaded for crossbow bolts, and if so dosent this make them top heavy?? RE: How to pass on the need to survive ! - NorthernRaider - 8 January 2012 You can get broad heads for archery bows from the historical re-enactment societies suppliers who do the bodkins and horse droppers in forged iron, as for top heavy most of the bigger arrows with broad heads were designed for unseating knights, and were fired volley fashion in a parabolic tragectory ( aim high fire a volley in a big arcing clod down into the enemies cavalry) for direct fire bodkins were used to good effect as armour piercing anti personal rounds.
