Abstract

An arrow for blood tracking comprising an elongated tubular shank having a head at one end and a nock at its other end, the arrow having a plurality of holes extending therethrough from the exterior of the arrow, the inner ends of the holes being in communication with the interior of the shank so that blood can flow into the shank through one or more holes and out of the shank through one or more holes, the walls of the holes being slanted rearwardly toward their outer ends, at least one of the holes being in a mid-portion of the shank and there being at least one hole substantially spaced forwardly of the mid-portion hole and another substantially spaced rearwardly thereof.

Claims

An arrow for blood tracking comprising an elongated tubular shank having a head at one end and a nock at its other end, said arrow having a plurality of holes extending therethrough from the exterior of said arrow, the inner ends of said holes being in communication with the interior of said shank, the walls of said holes being slanted rearwardly toward their outer ends.

2. The arrow for blood tracking of claim 1 having at least one of said holes being in a mid-portion of said shank and at least one other of said holes being substantially spaced forwardly of said mid-portion hole and another hole disposed substantially spaced rearwardly of said mid-portion hole.

3. The arrow for blood tracking of claim 1 having the weight distribution of said arrow being substantially balanced about an axis extending along said shank and through a center thereof.

4. An arrow for blood tracking comprising an elongated tubular shank having a head at one end and a nock at its other end, said shank having a plurality of holes extending therethrough from the exterior of said shank, the inner ends of said holes being in communication with the interior of said shank, the walls of substantially all of said holes being slanted rearwardly toward their outer ends for substantial elimination of whistling noise from said arrow.
