SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE TRAJECTORY OF AN ARROW
A system and method of correcting the trajectory of a hunting arrow is disclosed and described. The arrow can include a compensator coupled to 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.
Miniature locator device for use with hunting arrows
A hunting arrow for tracking target animals is disclosed and described. The arrow can include a chamber. The arrow may also include a transmitter housing that is installable into the chamber. A pair of bores extending through the transmitter housing and chamber may be configured and adapted for receiving a pair of shear pins. The shear pins may secure the housing in the chamber. The transmitter housing may comprise an animal engagement member, such as a hook. The transmitter housing is ejected from the chamber when the arrow strikes a target animal and the hook stops the forward momentum of the transmitter housing with sufficient force to shear the shear pins, thereby ejecting and embedding the transmitter housing in the hide of the animal. The transmitter within the housing may broadcast the location of the animal to the hunter to enable easy tracking of the animal, if wounded.
BOW ACCESSORY MOUNTING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A bow accessory mount system and method are described herein. The bow accessory mount system, in an embodiment, includes a bow engager configured to be engaged with an archery bow and an accessory support coupled to the bow engager. The accessory support is configured to support a bow accessory. The system includes an adjuster support, a driver engaged with the adjuster support, and a biaser coupled to the driver. The biaser is configured to generate a biasing force acting on the driver.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODIFYING THE TRAJECTORY OF AN ARROW
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. The arrow sleeve is configured to strengthen the front part of the arrow shaft and may be configured to enable a user to aim the arrow with a bow that has been sighted for a standard arrow.
