The leg bones from moose are good for this purpose,I guess leg bones from cattle can be used also. I posted a thread way back in July 2004 named Arrow with a bone head, perhaps it can still be found doing a search. Just use a bandsaw or hacksaw blade, files and sandpaper.

Doug Campbell used one made from a Bison leg bone to kill a deer, worked great.  You can read about it in the 2004 highlights.  Joseph

You can of course make them in any size you like. From finds we know they were used in Norway uptill around 4-500 AD. Bue--.
