Abstract
A system and method of correcting the trajectory of a hunting arrow is disclosed and described. The arrow can include a compensator coupled to a shaft of the arrow and the compensator has diameter that is larger than a diameter of the shaft of the arrow. A thickness of the compensator, which is measured as the difference in the diameter of the compensator and the diameter of the shaft of the arrow, is configured to enable a user to aim the arrow with a bow that has been sighted for a standard arrow.
Claims15
An apparatus for adding a payload capacity to an arrow while compensating for the extra weight added to the arrow, the arrow having a shaft, said apparatus comprising:
- an insert installable on a distal end of the shaft of the arrow, said insert comprising
- a chamber;
- a housing;
- means for removably securing the housing in the chamber of the insert;
- and
- at least one animal engagement member extending from said housing;
- wherein the diameter of the insert is greater than the diameter of the arrow, and wherein the diameter of the insert is chosen such that when the insert is rested upon an arrow rest of a bow, the insert raises the trajectory of the arrow sufficiently to compensate for the additional weight added to the bow by the insert, such that the arrow may be aimed as if no additional weight had been added while using a sight calibrated for use with an arrow without the insert installed, without making any adjustments to the aiming process due to the increased weight.
