7. A method, comprising:
-
capturing, with a camera that is enclosed inside an elongated cylindrical body of an arrow and adjacent an arrowhead, images that are external to the arrow while the arrow is in flight; capturing, with the camera, the images to include ones that appear in front of the arrow while the arrow is in the flight with a lens that is pointed to receive incoming light from a direction of the arrowhead of the arrow; capturing, with a second camera adjacent the nock, images appearing behind the arrow while the arrow is in the flight with a second lens that is pointed to receive incoming light from a direction of a nock of the arrow; and wirelessly transmitting, with a transmitter enclosed inside the elongated cylindrical body of the arrow, the images to a handheld portable electronic device (HPED) that displays the images. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An arrow, comprising:
-
an elongated cylindrical shaft; an arrowhead engaged at a first end of the shaft; a nock engaged at a second end of the shaft; and a camera enclosed inside one of the shaft and the arrowhead and adjacent the arrowhead, wherein the camera includes a first lens that is pointed through an opening in one of the shaft and the arrowhead, wherein the first lens is pointed to a shooting direction of the arrow so that the camera captures incoming light that comes from a direction of the arrowhead to capture a target at which the arrow is aimed and to capture images along a flight path of the arrow while the arrow is in flight, wherein the arrow includes a second camera adjacent the nock with a second lens that is directed toward the nock and that captures incoming light that comes from a direction of the nock to capture images appearing behind the arrow while the arrow is in flight, and wherein the camera and the second camera transmit the images from the first lens and the second lens to an external electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
