Copper point.

In 1870, Harpers Weekly published “Making Arrows”, an article that describes the speed and agility of a skilled American Indian hunter: “grasping his bow and five or six arrows in the left hand, [the archer] will discharge them with such rapidity that sometimes two or three arrows will be flying through the air at once.” It is likely that these arrows could have been tipped with metal points similar to this one, which is made from copper.
