It's a normal arrowhead. These were always smaller than dart points as the bow needs a lighter projectile weight for accuracy. With a standard bow, that arrowhead, when sharp and new, would be able to go straight through a man or deer, depending on where it hit.
I have found them smaller than that here on the Texas coast.
They were not made for shooting birds necessarily, however they shot whatever they wanted to eat. Whether it was a bird, deer, or bison.
Case in point: Google the Toya Arrowhead.

These are points I found locally in Central IL. Most are true arrowpoints. A couple in the middle row might be atl dart points. The smallest points in the top row measure 5/8”

If you’re asking about mine, I found them along the river. When the water drops, gravel bars appear. You have to look close to see the small triangles. The water has been so high lately there’s nowhere to hunt. I shouldn’t wish for a drought, but it sure helps with artifact hunting.
