I was thinking this may be interesting to see what the states list as lawful to hunt big game with.
From Washington State DF&WL
Broad head must be unbarbed, at least 7/8” wide with two cutting edges, & completely closed at the back end, (they do not mention arrowhead materials, so stone and bone are in)
It is unlawful to hunt big game with a retractable broadhead.
Arrow must be at least 20” long and have a 6 grain per pound of draw weight. (40lbs draw at 28” min) with a minimum of 300 gr arrow wt. (you do the math Washington didn't)
Happy Hunting!

ohio has the 7/8 width,two cutting edges.stone points are legal,but not barbed.40# draw minimum.pretty close to your state regs.
-
Ca is 7/8" stone is o.k. and the bow must cast a hunting weight arrow 120 yds
-
The VT fish and game law digest states that broadheads must be 7/8" wide and the bow must have a draw weight of 35# or more.
-
Indiana is chert,flint and obsidian points of no specific size or weight. There is a 35lb minimum draw weight on bows to be legal.

Ohio lowered the minimum broadhead width to 3/4 a couple of years ago.

Don't know about Tennessee,never ask and never been ask in 40 + years of bowhunting I have never had equipment checked,been checked for Lic. and Orange in gun season but they have never ask about my equipment,well once a warden ask if I really hunt with that stuff. ;) ;D ;D I have heard no barbs/stone is OK and must launch an arrow 100 yards :-\ guess I should read the regs but the last time I looked it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to understand all of it. :o :-\

In New Brunswick, broadheads must be 20mm (3/4 inch) wide minimum. Also:
• Arrowheads and arrow shafts or bolts and
bolt shafts used in hunting cannot be
barbed, coated with poison, equipped with
rippers or designed to explode.
• Arrows or bolts tipped with small game field
points may be used while hunting small game.
Not sure what "rippers" are, and no mention of stone or bone points. I wonder if the serations on stone points count as rippers?
Also it is unlawful to possess a bow with a draw weight less than 20kg in a resort of wildlife, even if you aren't hunting.

In Florida it's pretty much anything goes - material wise, bevels, barbs. Just needs to be 7/8".
-
A question for people in states that do not allow barbed points: Does the regs say that applies to bowfishing tackle too?
-
I just looked up Missouri's regs. No minimums on draw weight or broadhead size, or what the broadhead is made from.
-
Patches, in Washington it says no barb for big game, I will have to look to see if we can even bow fish here.
-
I ask the warden here in PA he said as long as it's 7/8in cutting edge.
-
bow fishing you need a fishing license and barbs are cool
-
Bow fishing is fishing not hunting so different regs in OHIO
Most every thing goes for bow fishing except dynamite !!
-
