In aspects of the invention, an arrow slide is provided with a body having a first opening with a plurality of first edges arranged in a generally triangular configuration within which a first diameter can be received, a second opening with a plurality of second edges arranged in the generally triangular configuration within which the first diameter can be received; sidewalk linking corresponding ones of the first plurality of edges to the plurality of second edges to create a passageway extending from the first opening to the second opening through which an arrow can slide; and a string mount to which a bowfishing line can be joined.

The invention relates to an archery system that launches an arrow from a position that is perpendicular to a direction of flight for the arrow. After release, the arrow rotates to a position that is parallel to the direction of flight to the target.

In some embodiments, an arrow comprises a shaft and a notch in an end of the arrow. The notch is arranged to receive a bowstring. A first finger recess and a second finger recess are located in proximity to the notch. The first finger recess and the second finger recess comprise opposed diverging surfaces. In some embodiments, an arrow comprises a magnetic slider.

An arrow with a first body having a cylindrical member with a first outside diameter, a first outer surface, a first inner diameter, a first proximate end, and a first distal end, where the first proximate end is configured to accept an arrow head, a second body having a hollow cylindrical member with a second outside diameter, a second inner diameter, a second outer surface, a second inner surface, a second proximate end, and a second distal end, where the second distal end is configured to accept fletching, and a nock, and a connecting means to couple the first body to the second body, where the connecting means establishes a linear alignment of the first body to the second body along the device's longitudinal axis, and where the connecting means permits the first body to be removable in relation to the second body.

An arrow noisemaker and arrow incorporating the same. The arrow noisemaker comprises a sleeve adapted to fit onto a shaft of an arrow, one or more housings coupled to the sleeve, and one or more noisemakers, each of which are coupled to each of the one or more housings. The one or more housings de-couple from the sleeve upon impact with a game animal.
