Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Help with Identifying this Broadhead

I'm thanking it is one of the first bear broadheads possibly before they put the bleeder blade in, or an early model thunderhead. What do you think?

Nah, that's a Rage prototype.

Crow Magnum Mutilator- pretty common way back then.

I found it on a deer hunt in extreme Southern New Mexico. Turns out it's an Atlatl Dart Point that is possibly 3000 years old.

"Hi, Rick--well, I'm not familiar with Guadalupe points as a type, but I would classify this point as a late preceramic corner-notched dart point. Based on what remains of it, it closely resembles San Pedro and En Medio points, both of which are ca. 3000-1800 years old. Unfortunately, the break removed most of the base between the notches, which makes it harder to classify as a particular type.

Hope this helps,

Looks about like the first edge I tried to sharpen on a Fred Bear broadhead...

That's a cool find.
