What's a bullet tip/point?

Someone has recently mentioned a "bullet tip". I assume he meant something for target shooting but it sounds like some hunting equipment.

So, what exactly did he refer to?

You are right, a "bullet tip" or "point" is something used for target shooting. In fact, it's THE arrowhead used for target shooting.

The term "bullet" refers to its shape:

However, the bullet point and the field tip are the most used arrowheads for target shooting.

I wanted to make clear that you never ever should use a bullet point to hunt! As you've already assumed the point is only used for sports. Read more about this topic here.
