ARROW TIP MOUNTING APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An arrow tip engagement apparatus for operative positioning at a leading end of an arrow shaft, comprising:
- a body, said body having a center axis, said body extending from a first end to a second end;
said first end of said body adapted for an engagement with an arrowhead;
said second end of said body adapted for an engagement within an axial bore of an arrow shaft; and
a circumferential surface surrounding said axis of said body, said circumferential surface tapering from a larger diameter at or adjacent to said first end of said body to a narrower diameter thereof a distance away from said first end of said body toward said second end of said body, whereby, said second end of said body is positionable to said engagement with said axial bore of said arrow shaft and said first end of said body is engageable with a said arrow head to thereby position it at a leading end of said arrow shaft with said circumferential surface tapering from said larger diameter adjacent said arrowhead to said narrower diameter adjacent 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.
