Abstract

An arrow shaft includes a cylindrical hollow body having a first end and an opposing second end, a first receiver permanently secured to the first end and a second receiver permanently secured to the second end, and a line connecting the first receiver to the second receiver. The first receiver is configured to be removably coupled to a broad head and the second receiver is configured to be removably coupled to a nock.

Claims

1. An arrow shaft comprising:

a cylindrical hollow body having a first end and an opposing second end;

a first receiver permanently secured to the first end and a second receiver permanently secured to the second end, the first receiver being configured to be removably coupled to a broad head and the second receiver being configured to be removably coupled to a nock; and

a line connecting the first receiver to the second receiver.

2. The arrow shaft according to claim 1, wherein the arrow shaft is made of one or more materials selected from the group consisting of wood, aluminum, fiberglass, carbon, and a carbon/aluminum combination.

3. The arrow shaft according to claim 1, wherein the first and second receivers are made of aluminum.

4. The arrow shaft according to claim 1, wherein the line is a 100 pound monofilament line.

5. The arrow shaft according to claim 1, wherein the second receiver comprises a first cylindrical and hollow segment having a first diameter, a second cylindrical and hollow segment having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter, and a third cylindrical and hollow segment having a third diameter that is smaller than the second diameter.

6. The arrow shaft according to claim 5, wherein the first, second and third segments are integrally formed, such that the second receiver has a monolithic body.

7. The arrow shaft according to claim 5, wherein an annular edge of the first cylindrical and hollow segment of the second receiver abuts the second end of the arrow shaft in a flush manner, and wherein the second and third cylindrical and hollow segments are received within the hollow body of the arrow shaft.

8. The arrow shaft according to claim 5, wherein the second cylindrical and hollow segment includes a plurality of circumferentially projecting barbs which engage an interior surface of the second end of the arrow shaft to permanently secure the second receiver to the second end of the arrow shaft.

9. The arrow shaft according to claim 1, wherein the first receiver includes a first cylindrical and hollow segment having a first diameter and a second cylindrical and hollow segment having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter.

10. The arrow shaft according to claim 9, wherein the first and second segments are integrally formed, such that the first receiver has a monolithic body.

11. The arrow shaft according to claim 9, wherein the first cylindrical and hollow segment includes a plurality of circumferentially projecting barbs which engage an interior surface of the first end of the arrow shaft.

12. The arrow shaft according to claim 9, wherein an annular edge of the first cylindrical and hollow segment includes a radial flange that abuts the first end of the arrow shaft in a flush manner and wherein a remainder of the first cylindrical and hollow segment and the second cylindrical and hollow segment are received within the hollow body of the arrow shaft.

13. The arrow shaft according to claim 9, wherein the first receiver includes a third cylindrical and hollow segment having a third diameter that is smaller than the second diameter, the third cylindrical and hollow segment being positioned between the first and second cylindrical and hollow segments.

14. A hunting arrow comprising:

a cylindrical and hollow shaft having a first end and an opposing second end;

a first receiver permanently secured to the first end and a second receiver permanently secured to the second end;

a monofilament line extending through the hollow shaft and connecting the first receiver to the second receiver;

a broad head removably coupled to the first receiver; and

a nock removably coupled to the second receiver.

15. The hunting arrow according to claim 14, wherein the second receiver comprises a first cylindrical and hollow segment having a first diameter, a second cylindrical and hollow segment having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter, and a third cylindrical and hollow segment having a third diameter that is smaller than the second diameter.

16. The hunting arrow according to claim 15, wherein an annular edge of the first cylindrical and hollow segment of the second receiver abuts the second end of the arrow shaft in a flush manner, and wherein the second and third cylindrical and hollow segments are received within the hollow body of the arrow shaft.

17. The hunting arrow according to claim 15, wherein the second cylindrical and hollow segment includes a plurality of circumferentially projecting barbs which engage an interior surface of the second end of the arrow shaft to permanently secure the second receiver to the second end of the arrow shaft.

18. The hunting arrow according to claim 14, wherein the first receiver includes a first cylindrical and hollow segment having a first diameter and a second cylindrical and hollow segment having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter.

19. The hunting arrow according to claim 18, wherein the first cylindrical and hollow segment includes a plurality of circumferentially projecting barbs which engage an interior surface of the first end of the arrow shaft.

20. The hunting arrow according to claim 18, wherein an annular edge of the first cylindrical and hollow segment includes a radial flange that abuts the first end of the arrow shaft in a flush manner and wherein a remainder of the first cylindrical and hollow segment and the second cylindrical and hollow segment are received within the hollow body of the arrow shaft.
