Which type of arrowhead is legally permitted for use in big game hunting and must be razor sharp?

For big game hunting, the type of arrowhead that is legally required to be razor sharp is a broadhead. Broadheads are designed specifically for hunting larger game animals and provide a lethal wound to ensure a quick and humane kill. The requirement for the blade to be sharp is essential, as a well-sharpened broadhead increases the chances of a clean cut and accelerates the animal's bleed-out process, which is crucial for ethical hunting practices.

Mechanical blade broadheads, while they can be effective, are often subject to more specific regulations depending on local laws, and they may not always ensure a sharp cutting edge compared to fixed blade broadheads. JUDO points and fish points serve different purposes; JUDO points are primarily used for small game and target shooting, while fish points are designed for fishing rather than big game hunting.
