| 20100222164 | FIXED PARALLEL-BLADE BROADHEAD HAVING MODIFIED H-SHAPED OUTLINE CONFIGURATION - A broadhead which is light in weight and which has surface area to decrease arrowhead weight, surface area and drag to increase performance of an arrow to which it is attached. The broadhead attaches to the arrow in one of the known ways, glue, screw, friction or interference fit. A broadhead wrench may need to be used to protect the user from sharp edges while handling the broadhead. The blade portion of the broadhead aids in the hemorrhaging of the target by creating a larger conduit for bleeding to occur, thus speeding death of a game animal. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100113195 | ARROW NOCK INCLUDING METAL REINFORCEMENT MEMBER - The present invention relates to an arrow nock having a metal insert therein. The arrow nock is provided for installation at the fletched end of an arrow shaft, and is configured to receive a bowstring of a hunting bow therein. The arrow nock imparts the force of the bowstring into the arrow shaft to propel the arrow to the target. Repeated use can cause failure of the nock. The solution is to provide the nock with a reinforcement to prevent the failure or breakage of the arrow nock and/or shaft. A reinforcing rod, preferably of metal, extends the length of the nock and is molded into the arrow nock. Optionally, the rod may extend beyond the nock body and into the arrow shaft providing additional support. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20090277435 | Cocking Winch Apparatus For A Crossbow, Crossbow System Including The Cocking Winch Apparatus, And Method Of Using Same - A crossbow having a bowstring cocking winch apparatus, a cocking winch apparatus usable with a crossbow, and a method of operating the apparatus are described. The cocking winch apparatus includes a projecting alignment member having a non-round cross-sectional shape, where the alignment member is removably securable to a butt portion of a crossbow stock by inserting the alignment member into a correspondingly-shaped hole formed in the stock. The cocking winch apparatus provides a straight and balanced draw to the crossbow bowstring, enabling a user to easily cock the bowstring by rotating a handle to draw the bowstring back, and to place it in cocked position in the crossbow trigger mechanism. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20080234079 | ARROWHEAD HAVING BOTH FIXED AND MECHANICALLY EXPANDABLE BLADES - An improved arrowhead features two sets of expandable blades. The expandable blades are pivotally movable from a first, concealed position to a second expanded position when spurs on the front of the blades contact a target. The first concealed position of the blades allows the arrowhead to penetrate the target upon contact. The fixed blades may be diamond-shaped, double-edged replaceable blades. The expandable blades comprise at least two pivotable blades that can be held in the first safe position by an elastic band. The spurs are located at a first end of the expandable blades, and these spurs are located proximate the base of the fixed blade portion of the arrow head, to allow the fixed portion to penetrate the target before the expandable blades are deployed by the spurs contacting the target. | 09-25-2008 |
