Abstract
Arrow components, such as vanes and nocks, are provided with a light-emitting material for enhancing their visibility to the shooter, a camera, spectators, and/or others attempting to view the flight-path of the shot arrow during low-light conditions. In various embodiments, the light-emitting material is provided by a photo-luminescent material, a chemi-luminescent material, a refractive material, a reflective material, another material that will emit light in low-light conditions, or a composite of these. The light-emitting material is preferably selected for its ability to emit light, upon exposure to natural or artificial light and with no electric power source.
