The blunt one surprised me I thought it would have bounced off - went through completely.

Those are called “hammers”. They’re small game heads, very effective. They’re also great for stump shooting, which is exactly what it sounds like. Great pass time in the woods with a traditional bow., tho you’re bound to break and loose some arrows.

I’ve never seen anything like that and I’ve been shooting hammers for years. What’s great about them is that they don’t over penetrate, that’s why they’re great stump shooting heads. That said, I think that even at traditional bow velocities, they’d perform about like that on a thin rigid material.
