Best target point for bamboo shaft

Simple question, what type of commercial point should  I be looking to choose (or maybe avoid) for bamboo shaft target arrows?

I use a standard 11/32"(for 3/8" end) field point. Just taper the cane just like any other shaft. I have found that a grinding type tapering better than a pencil sharpener type.

Duplex nail and glue it in.
