Why is this obvious? Unhardened iron arrowheads were used, and bronze can have similar hardness. Bone arrowheads were still in use.

More recently, in Africa, despite the availability of iron, wood, bone and horn arrowheads were still used (alongside iron arrowheads). Cheap can be a virtue, especially with arrowheads that might not be recovered.
