Broadhead for an arrow and method of securement
First Claim
1. An arrow comprising a shaft and a broadhead frictionally secured to said shaft, said shaft being fit within a longitudinal bore of said broadhead, and secured to said broadhead by a rotational locking member which upon rotation tightens said broadhead about said shaft to frictionally secure said broadhead to said shaft.

Abstract
A broadhead for an arrow having a locking mechanism which insures true alignment of the longitudinal axis of the broadhead with the longitudinal axis of the shaft of the arrow. The shaft is fit within a longitudinal bore in the body of the broadhead and a locking nut engages external threads at an end of the broadhead which tightens the body of the broadhead about the shaft of the arrow to frictionally engage the arrow shaft within the broadhead body.

11. A broadhead for an arrow comprising:
-
a body member having a longitudinal bore extending a portion of its length from a first end, said first end having external threads; a plurality of blades attached to said body member; a pointed tip attached to a second end of said body member; and a locking member having a longitudinal bore therethrough and internal threads for cooperating with said external threads of said body member; wherein said broadhead is frictionally secured to a shaft of said arrow through rotational tightening of said locking member onto said body member, said shaft being positioned in said longitudinal bore of said body member and passing through said longitudinal bore of said locking member. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A broadhead for an arrow having a plurality of blades comprising:
-
a cylindrical body member having a first and second end, said body member having a longitudinal bore extending a portion of its length from said second end, said second end having at least one axial slot in communication with said longitudinal bore, said second end further having a threaded portion; a pointed tip attached to said first end of said body member; and a locking member for attaching a shaft of said arrow to said body member; wherein said arrow shaft passes through said locking member and into said longitudinal bore, said locking member having interval threads which cooperate with said threaded portion of said body member, such that rotation of said locking member onto said body member collapses said second end at said axial slot to frictionally engage said body member about said shaft to secure said broadhead to said shaft. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A method of securing a broadhead to a shaft of an arrow, said broadhead having a longitudinal bore at a first end and a pointed tip at a second end, said first end having external threads for engaging internal threads of a locking nut, said method comprising:
-
passing said shaft through said locking nut and sliding said shaft into said bore; and rotating said nut to tighten said broadhead about said shaft by collapsing said first end of said broadhead about said shaft to frictionally secure said broadhead to said shaft. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
