Abstract

An arrow outsert preferably includes a first end and a second end. An arrow point bore is formed in the first end of the arrow outsert to receive a cylindrical portion of an arrow point. An arrow shaft bore is formed in the second end of the arrow outsert to receive an arrow shaft. An outer surface of the arrow outsert is preferably tapered starting at the second end. A female thread is formed through a middle of the arrow outsert to threadably engage a threaded stud of the arrow point. A plurality of axial slots are formed in an outer perimeter of the arrow outsert. The arrow outsert is secured to an end of an arrow shaft by applying glue, adhesive or the like, before insertion into the arrow shaft bore. The threaded stud of the arrow point is threaded into the female thread to complete assembly.

Claims
