Deer arrows are provided with a cruelly barbed, detachable iron point. When an animal is struck the point leaves the shaft, unwinding a long woven coil with which the two are fastened together. The barbs prevent the point from tearing out of the flesh and the dangling shaft catches on the under brush and serve to retard the animal’s flight. See Wm.A. Reed, Negritos of Zambales, p. 46 & Pl. XLII, figs 8,9.
