Arrow and components thereof
First Claim
1. An adjustable weight arrow point assembly for use in conjunction with a tubular arrow shaft, comprising:
- a point;
a rod coupled to said point and extending rearward thereof, said rod being trimmable to vary the weight of said point assembly;
a generally tubular insert adapted to be positioned within an end of said arrow shaft, said insert being provided with an outwardly extending annular flange portion at one end thereof which abuts against the edge of said end of said arrow shaft when said insert is positioned therein; and
a tubular sleeve fixedly coupled to and surrounding a portion of said rod adjacent said point, said sleeve being equipped with a plurality of projections on an outer surface thereof which frictionally engage an inner surface of said insert when said sleeve is positioned therein to secure said rod within said insert.

Abstract
An improved arrow system comprises an arrow shaft having first and second tubular end sections each having substantially parallel inner and outer surfaces, and an intermediate tubular section which is fixedly coupled between the first and second tubular end sections and having an inner diameter which is greatest at its ends and which decreases toward the longitudinal center of the intermediate section. An adjustable weight arrow point assembly co-operates with the first tubular end section while an adjustable weight self-aligning nock assembly co-operates with the second tubular end section. The coupling between the arrow point and shaft also provides for alignment of the former on the latter.
