Abstract

The hunting arrow having a hole boring head includes an arrow shaft that attaches an arrowhead comprised of points that are notched into the head such that the arrowhead and at least a portion of the arrow shaft have an open hole in the center in order to cut a hole through the skin and flesh of game for unimpeded blood loss therefrom. The points constructed of notches are concentrically, arranged, and require at lease a portion of the arrow shaft to be hollowed such that the open hole extends rearwardly with respect to the shaft. The hunting arrow may include a plurality of external blades that extend radially from the exterior surface of the arrowhead, and may be centered about each of the points.

Claims

1. A hunting arrow having a hole boring head comprising:

an arrow shaft at least partially of hollow construction and attached to an arrowhead at a forward most end of said arrow shaft;

wherein a plurality of points are individually formed via notches thereby creating a boring hole thereon, and which shall cut a disc-shaped plug from skin and flesh of game upon impact of said arrowhead thereon, and which shall remain inside of the arrow shaft;

wherein the arrowhead and arrow shaft shall pass entirely through said game forming an inlet hole, a core hole, and an outlet hole incapable of sealing close, and from which blood exists in an unimpeded fashion;

wherein external blades extend radially from an exterior surface of the arrowhead.

2. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 1 wherein the notches have a sharpened edge.

3. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 1 wherein the hole extends rearwardly from the arrowhead along at least a portion of the arrow shaft.

4. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 1 wherein both the notches and the points are concentrically aligned around the arrowhead.

5. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 1 wherein the external blades align with and equal to the number of points of the respective arrowhead.

6. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 1 wherein a nock is detachably engaged with respect to a rear shaft hole of said arrow shaft.

7. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 6 wherein the nook is slideably engaged within the rear shaft hole.

8. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 7 wherein the nock includes a shoulder limiting the amount of travel into the rear shaft hole of the arrow shaft.

9. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 1 wherein a ballistic cap attaches over the arrowhead, and is cut itself into pieces that break apart during impact with the game, and after which the arrow head cuts through the game forming the disc-shaped plug, and exits therefrom.

10. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 9 wherein the ballistic tip is further defined with a cone portion seated onto a shoulder that has a length greater than the arrowhead.

11. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 10 wherein the ballistic tip includes slots provided on the shoulder, which are aligned and arranged with the external blades.

12. A hunting arrow having a hole boring head comprising:

an arrow shaft at least partially of hollow construction and attached to an arrowhead at a forward most end of said arrow shaft;

wherein a plurality of points are individually formed via notches thereby creating a boring hole thereon, and which shall cut a disc-shaped plug from skin and flesh of game upon impact of said arrowhead thereon, and which shall remain inside of the arrow shaft;

wherein the arrowhead and arrow shaft shall pass entirely through said game forming an inlet hole, a core hole, and an outlet hole incapable of sealing close, and from which blood exits in an unimpeded fashion;

wherein a ballistic cap attaches over the arrowhead, and cuts into pieces that break apart during impact with the game, and after which the arrowhead cuts through the game forming the disc-shaped plug, and exits therefrom.

13. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 12 wherein the notches have a sharpened edge.

14. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 12 wherein the hole extends rearwardly from the arrowhead along at least a portion of the arrow shaft.

15. The hunting arrow having a hole baring head as described in claim 12 wherein both the notches and the points are concentrically aligned around the arrowhead.

16. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 12 wherein external blades extend radially from an exterior surface of the arrowhead.

17. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 16 wherein the external blades align with and equal to the number of points of the respective arrowhead.

18. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 16 wherein the ballistic tip includes slots provided on the shoulder, which are aligned and arranged with the external blades.

19. The hunting arrow having a hole boring head as described in claim 12 wherein the ballistic tip is further defined with a cone portion seated onto a shoulder that has a length greater than the arrowhead.
