Roman Plumbata Or Ferrata Heads

Plumbata or Ferrata heads – In the late Roman Empire they introduced an amazing skirmishing weapon; the plumbata. These were small hand thrown arrows, weighted with lead, that could be cast out to 100m or more and were carried inside a legionaries shield.The heads are forged from a single piece, have wicked barbs and are supplied singly or as a set of 5 (just like the originals) with a price reduction. Traditionally the weight was lead which as single use items was fine, but my reproductions use a steel weight for longevity, so I guess they should be called Ferrata! These are the ones you can see in the YouTube films.

Note these are the heads only, you will be required to mount them on a fletched shaft. See diagram for shaft dimensions. This diagram will be available to download when you purchase a Plumbata/Ferrata. 

I absolutely love these plumbata and I keep making films about them and you will find some of them here. Also if you want the targets in the films you can get these on todcutler.com also – go to the “Targets, hoodies, T-shirts and Mugs” collection

(small targets downloadable for personal or club use)
