ARROWHEAD WITH LASER
First Claim
1. An arrowhead comprising:
- a body, the body including an internal cavity;
a plurality of blades extending outwardly from the body;
a sharpened tip extending forwardly from the body, the tip having a center axis, and an aperture formed in the tip that extends outward along the center axis of the tip;
a battery housing extending rearwardly from the body;
a battery disposed in the battery housing; and
a front laser diode disposed in the internal cavity of the body, the front laser diode arranged so that the laser beam emitted by the diode projects forward from the arrowhead through the aperture in the tip, the laser beam being coaxial with the center axis of the tip.

Abstract
An arrow, arrowhead and method of shooting an arrowhead are disclosed. In one example embodiment, a plurality of blades extend outwardly from the body of an arrowhead and a sharpened tip extends forwardly. A front laser diode is disposed in the arrowhead and is arranged so that a laser beam emitted by the diode projects forward from the arrowhead through an aperture in the tip and is coaxial with the tip'"'"'s center axis. In another example embodiment, the housing includes a rear facing light source to selectively light the nock. The method includes drawing the arrow back on a bow until a forward facing laser beam in an arrowhead of the arrow turns on in response to a hall effect sensor sensing the presence of a magnet on the bow.
