ARROW TIP MOUNTING APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An apparatus for engagement of an arrow tip to the leading end of an arrow shaft comprising;
- a body, said body having a center axis and having a diameter determining an exterior circumference, said body having a first end extending a body length to a second end;
an elongated member extending along said axis from said second end of said body, said member extending a distance to a distal end of said member, said member having a member diameter;
means for engaging an arrow tip to said first end of said body;
said member diameter sized equal to or slightly smaller than a bore diameter of an axial bore defined by an interior surface of a surrounding wall forming said arrow shaft; and
said member diameter when engaged to an as-used position within said axial bore, providing means to engage said body to said leading end of said arrow shaft.

Abstract
An interface component for engaging an arrow tip to the leading end of an arrow shaft. The device directs impact forces axially and eliminates the shearing and wall collapse of arrow shafts caused by conventional collared arrow head engagement devices which tend to collapse and cut the leading edge of arrow shafts on hard impacts. Engagement to the arrow shaft leading end is provided by an elongated member axially engaged with the bore of the arrow shaft. The exterior surface of the device can be surfaced to interact with passing air during flight of the arrow and increase spin for better accuracy.
