Kruwa arrows (detail of arrow tails with radial fletching of the directional feathers), which are divided into four parts: the tip, the wooden part, the central part of thin bamboo, and the directional feathers of macaw or vulture tail.
Today they are used almost exclusively as a ceremonial or for poaching, during solemn ritual festivals, the great rites of passage, of the naming 'mereremex' or the ritual fishing 'ngô-rere-rax'.
They differ above all from the tip, for the material (bone, stingray, wood) and the shape (square, rounded). These arrows with a square or rounded tip are used to stun birds without killing them, in order to obtain their feathers.
