1. A hunting point for attachment to an arrow used in bow hunting which metamorphoses from a flight sharpened end to a sharpened wide "V" after penetration of a game animal'"'"'s hide and for continued movement through the animal, said hunting point comprising:

  • a body adapted to be attached to the arrow;

    an elongated first blade having a first end and a second end, said first end terminating in a sharpened point, and a spaced apart first side and a second side each having a length running from said first end to said second end, said second side having an outstanding barb with a forward portion and a rearward portion, said first side having a sharpened edge from said first end to said second end and said second side having a sharpened edge from said first end to and including said barb forward portion, said first and second side edge being substantially parallel to each other from a first location adjacent said barb to a second location near but behind said point, said second side edge being angled towards said first side edge from said second location and extending to meet said first side edge at said point, said first blade pivotally attached to said body proximate said second end;

    an elongated second blade having a first end and a second end, said first end terminating in a sharpened point, and a spaced apart first side and a second side each having a length running from said first end to said second end, said second side having an outstanding barb with a forward portion and a rearward portion, said first side having a sharpened edge from said first end to said second end and said second side having a sharpened edge from said first end to and including said barb forward portion, said first and second side edge being substantially parallel to each other from a first location adjacent said barb to a second location near but behind said point, said second side edge being angled towards said first side edge from said second location and extending to meet said first side edge at said point, said second blade pivotally attached to said body proximate said second end, said first blade and said second blade being in pivotable relationship to each other;

    said first and second blade being pivotal to and extending forward of said body; and

    said first end of both said first blade and said second blade overlapping to lead in flight and remaining overlapped in penetration of the game animal'"'"'s hide and movement through the animal, said angled side edge portions serving to maintain said first and second blade in a closed position during initial penetration, both said first and second blade first and second side sharpened edge engaging the animal'"'"'s hide and penetrating the animal along their length to a depth until said barb forward portion of both said first blade and said second blade engages the animal'"'"'s hide to cause both said first and second blade to pivot said second end of both said first blade and second blade to become the leading members of the sharpened wide "V" configuration.
