Could be, though the group submitting it would have to realize that the
armory would likely sometimes -- and also correctly -- be drawn with
"regular" arrowheads. If they decide that having them be "bodkins" is
important, they'll need to look into documenting the specific depiction.
[If no heraldic depictions of bodkin-type arrowheads can be found, other
period depictions differentiating them from other arrowheads might still
allow them to be registered/blazoned as such. Documentation on period
weaponry should be a good place to start.]
There's a pun there somewhere about what the probabilities are for
finding what's needed -- odds bodkins -- but I'll let it pass.
Your honours in dutie.
