What the AI looks for in Archery Points

Attachment type
Screw-in points use the standard 8-32 thread into an insert; glue-in and outsert points must match the shaft's exact inside or outside diameter The wrong attachment simply won't fit or won't hold securely.
Diameter match
The point's shoulder diameter should match the shaft's outside diameter Oversized points leave a lip that drags in targets, and undersized ones make pulling arrows harder and stress the shaft.
Weight match
Use field points of the same grain weight as your broadheads This keeps your practice representative of hunting flight and sight settings.
Point style for use
Use field or target points for foam and bag targets, and judo or blunt points for small game and stumping Judo points use spring arms to stop arrows from burying in grass, and blunts deliver shock to small game.
Target type
Bullet or field points work for most targets, and some foam targets recommend field points over broadheads Field points make it easier to pull arrows from layered and foam targets.
