Nice ones. I struggle with rock IDs. Maybe red jasper. Now you have quite a timeline of weapons: Ray guns to arrowheads! 👍🏼
 

You think they are to perfect /replica?
The knapping on them is wrong imho. The median sections are what I'm going off of. If you ever go to flee markets and see the baskets of arrowheads for a dollar a piece you'll see the same types. Sorry, not trying to crush your hopes.
 

Maybe some pro's from that region will chime in to help with an ID. Diff places, diff rocks if you know what I mean.

That’s the reason I posted because some one has a better understanding of them
 

The fact that they are exactly the same color is also a little odd. Very different styles of points made off the same stone.
 

I didn’t technically find these , an old timer gave them to me. He’s had them for years and only can tell me there are from North Carolina.
I agree with fishstick
 

You need to get a good strong magnifying glass and look at the edge for tiny specks of copper. Look close around the notches especially.
Most modern knappers use copper tools and it will usually leave a trace. I’m about 50/50 on whether they are new or not.

I do have one and compared them to the arrowhead I found while digging a target . Here they are side by side, the one on far left that’s broken is what I found
