I am sorry, I should have been more specific of the length of the projectile point. I am aware that these long, heavy bodkin style points are associated with catapult bolts and rightly so, I would say. The bodkins I was refering to are about 6 to 7.5 cm overall length and much more slender then the one depicted here. 11 mm is a max. size for the shaft. The point is mostly square to roundish (Vindonissa) in cross section.
