No... 10lb... all the Pueblos did was mostly shoot at jackrabbits or each other. Others had more robust equipment.
It is possible that the Romans ran into lithic points on the fringe of empire. I think that some sub-Sahara groups never used anything else. But I do think testing should be done with iron tips and stronger bows (30 to 60 lb.) if anyone wants to make a point... no pun intended...
