First Claim
1. An illuminated projectile having a shaft, said shaft having a head end and a tail end, said head end having a head, said illuminated projectile comprising:
- (a) at least one illumination system having at least one source of illumination, at least one power source, and circuitry;
(b) said at least one source of illumination positioned generally within said projectile at least near said head end;
(c) said at least one source of illumination directed generally toward said tail end; and

Abstract
Mechanically attachable fletching is disclosed herein for a projectile having a shaft having an exterior surface. The mechanically attachable fletching includes at least one fin, a connection section bordering the at least one fin, and at least one mechanical fastener for attaching the fletching to the exterior surface of the shaft via the connection section. Also disclosed herein are methods for mechanically attaching fletching to the shaft of the projectile. Also disclosed herein are illuminated projectiles. Also described herein is a projectile having a shaft, a projectile head, and at least one fin. The projectile head preferably has a plurality of layers, the head end preferably being associated with the projectile head. Also described herein is a projectile that includes a shaft, a suction head, an outer head casing, and at least one fin. The suction head is preferably associated with the head end. The at least one launcher engager is preferably associated with the suction head. Two halves of the outer head casing preferably sandwich the suction head and the head end.
