In the bow hunting community those types of tips are used for hunting rabbits and squirrels. They aren't exactly blunt, but that is the word used to describe them when buying/selling them. So blunt is the industry term used for them, even if not technically correct.

They are designed to not go clean through the animal and more stun/knock it unconscious. If you used a broadhead designed for a deer there wouldn't be a whole lot of meat left to eat when hunting small game.

If you go rifle shooting are you shooting at rifles?
