SIMINOLE WIND
I will defer to Mr. Brunges on his knowledge of old broadheads, but what I think you are referring to are Bodkin Broadheads. They were about the most popular three blade, or at least the most common in their time. As I remember the main problem with them was wind planing. If you did not put a lot of spin on your shaft, the arrow would porpose going down range. Actually float up and down on the air.
If I am wrong, Ron will correct me.
