Tracking system for use with an arrow
First Claim
1. A tracking system for use with an arrow having a shaft and an arrowhead, said tracking system comprising:
- a housing having opposed first and second ends and having first and second portions separable from one another, said first and second portions collectively defining an interior area when coupled together;
a transmitter operatively coupled to at least one of said first and second portions and being inside said interior area when said first and second portions are coupled together;
a power source in electrical communication with said transmitter, said power source being operatively coupled to at least one of said first and second portions and being inside said interior area when said first and second portions are coupled together;
a first anchor configured to be coupled to said shaft and said housing first end;
a second anchor configured to be coupled to said arrowhead and said housing second end;
a fastener selectively coupling said first and second portions together; and
means for activating said transmitter as said fastener is moved to couple said first and second portions together.

Abstract
A tracking system for use with an arrow having a shaft and arrowhead includes a housing having first and second separable portions that define an interior area. A transmitter is operatively coupled to one of the portions and positioned in the interior area when coupled together. A first anchor is configured to be coupled to the shaft and the housing first end. A second anchor is configured to be coupled to the arrowhead and the housing second end. A fastener selectively couples the first and second portions together. A switch activates automatically when the fastener is moved to couple the first and second portions together and causes the transmitter to activate. The system includes a tracking unit having a receiver, display, processor, and programming to indicate a location of the transmitter based on signal received by the receiver from the transmitter. Data received from the transmitter may include an identifier.
