1. An arrowhead comprising:
- (a) an arrowhead body, said arrowhead body comprising;
(i) a forward leading end;
(ii) a threaded stud located at said forward leading end; and
(iii) a slot formed thereon, said slot communicating with said forward leading end at an annular shelf, said annular shelf being laterally and radially displaced from said threaded stud;
(b) a cutting blade having a cutting edge, said cutting blade being removably attachable in said slot;
(c) a removably attachable arrowhead tip, said arrowhead tip comprising;
(i) an internally threaded cavity that screws said arrowhead tip onto said arrowhead body;
(ii) a cutting edge located at the juncture of two facets of said arrowhead tip; and
(iii) a notch, said notch being located in said internal cavity, said notch being intersected by a plane that is coplanar with said cutting edge of said arrowhead tip; and
(d) an annular member having at least a portion thereof that is deflectable so as to generate an urging force, said annular member comprising;
(i) a protrusion, said protrusion protruding in a forward direction and seating over the forward leading end of said cutting blade when said cutting blade is attached to said arrowhead body and when said annular member is situated upon said annular shelf, said protrusion protruding a distance forward of said forward end of said cutting blade, so as that when said arrowhead tip is tightly attached on to said arrowhead body said protrusion of said annular member deflects and mates within said notch, thereby aligning said cutting edge of said removably attachable arrowhead tip with said cutting edge of said cutting blade.

Abstract
Removably attachable arrowhead tips that are selectively alignable in specific orientation with structures of their corresponding arrowhead bodies. Such arrowhead tips allow consistent and repetitive alignment of cutting edges of arrowhead tip facet junctures with the cutting edges of tip blades and/or the cutting edges of their corresponding arrowhead blades at all times, such as when replacing a damaged tip.
