A tracking system for use with an arrow including a base unit defining an open central section; a holding magnet positioned within the open central section; and a sending unit that includes an electronic circuit; a main body section affixed to an electronic circuit; projections extending from the main body section into the open central section and at least partially surrounding the holding magnet; and a projection extending from the main body section and ending in a point; where the electronic circuit includes a battery and is constructed to emit a tracking signal when activated and the electronic circuit includes a magnet switch element such that the electronic circuit is maintained in a deactivated state as a result of the magnetic field established by the holding magnet.

A broadhead is provided that is versatile, reusable, and revolutionary in the hunting industry. Various embodiments of the broadhead provide interchangeable technology to accommodate multiple hunting situations by being able to switch between fixed and expandable blades. In some embodiments, the broadhead is provided with the ability to accept a variety of different types of tracking devices in conjunction with a removable barb to allow the use of innovative trackable technology.

A tracking device selectively attached to trajectory device, comprising may include a housing configured to house at least one location tracking component, at least one attachment mechanism fixed to the housing and configured to attach to a trajectory device to carry the housing on the trajectory device, and a hook extending from the housing and configured to engage with a portion of an animal upon impact of the trajectory device with the animal, wherein upon engagement of the hook with the animal, the housing and the hook are configured to separate from the trajectory device and attach to the animal.

An apparatus for adding weight to an arrow and a system and method of correcting the trajectory of the arrow with the added weight is disclosed and described. The arrow can include a compensator designed to fit as a sleeve on a shaft of the arrow and the compensator has diameter that is larger than a diameter of the shaft of the arrow. A thickness of the compensator, which is measured as the difference in the diameter of the compensator and the diameter of the shaft of the arrow, is configured to enable a user to aim the arrow with a bow that has been sighted for a standard arrow.

An archery projectile locating facility comprises an elongated body. The elongated body includes a connection facility adapted to connect to the archery projectile. The elongated body includes a microcontroller. The elongated body includes a sensor facility in communication with the microcontroller and operable to detect a flight state. The elongated body includes a transmitter in communication with the microcontroller and operable to broadcast at least one data signal after the flight state has been detected. The at least one data signal includes information generated by the sensor facility.
