First Claim
1. An apparatus for penetrating a surface of a target, the apparatus comprising:
- an arrow tip comprising a first and second edges;
a support feature adapted to couple to the first edge of the arrow tip;
a collar adapted to be at least partially disposed about the support feature;
a plurality of primary blades adapted to be disposed radially about the support feature; and

Abstract
Applicants have created improved systems and apparatuses for a ballistic arrow used to penetrate the surface of a target. The apparatus includes an arrow tip, a support feature, and a collar partially disposed about the support feature. The apparatus further includes a plurality of primary blades disposed radially about the support feature and a plurality of secondary blades partially disposed between the primary blades. The system includes an arrowhead and arrow shaft coupled to the arrowhead. The arrowhead includes an arrow tip, a support feature, and a collar partially disposed about the support feature. The arrowhead includes a plurality of arrow blades adapted to expand radially outward from the support feature upon impact of the arrow tip with a target. The apparatuses and systems described throughout this disclosure can improve the both the reliability and lethality of a ballistic arrow used to hunt game and other wildlife.
