Default RE: The point of field point

In my experience the term target point and field point are used interchangably. Both refer to an arrow head without any sort of cutting blades used strictly for target shooting.

What I think you are referring to might be the Saunders Combo Points


IMHO they do nothing different than a standard parabolic target point does.

I don't see any difference in penetration, target wear or arrow flight using any of the various target or field point configurations.

One thing that I have noticed, the Saunders Combo Points, with their narrow taper at the front seem to make it easier to robbin hood arrows, where a more parabolic type point tends to mess up the nock but will deflect more often, leaving the arrow shaft undamaged.
