Abstract
A detachable, trackable arrow nock, comprising a proximal end for detachably coupling to a hollow distal end of an arrow shaft, a distal end for receiving a bow string, a plurality of fins for engaging the hide of an animal to prevent the nock from penetrating the hide, an electronic tracking device, and an anchor tethered to the nock, wherein the anchor is positioned within the hollow distal end of the arrow shaft when the proximal end of the nock is coupled to the distal end of the arrow shaft. As the arrow shaft moves through the animal, the nock is operable to detach from the arrow shaft when the fins engage the hide of the animal and the anchor is operable to engage internal tissues of the animal to secure the nock to the animal.

A detachable, trackable arrow nock, comprising:
- a proximal end for detachably coupling to a hollow distal end of an arrow shaft;
- a distal end for receiving a bow string;
- a plurality of fins for engaging the hide of an animal to prevent said nock from penetrating the hide;
- an electronic tracking device;
- and
- an anchor tethered to said nock, wherein said anchor is positioned within the hollow distal end of the arrow shaft when said proximal end of said nock is coupled to the distal end of the arrow shaft;
- wherein said nock is operable to detach from the arrow shaft when said fins engage the hide of the animal as the arrow shaft moves through the animal;
- and
- wherein said anchor is operable to engage internal tissues of the animal to secure said nock to the animal.
A hunting arrow, comprising:
- a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein said distal end of said shaft is hollow;
- an arrow head secured to said proximal end of said shaft;
- a nock detachably secured to said distal end of said shaft, wherein said nock comprises a distal end for receiving a bow string, a proximal end for detachably coupling to said distal end of said shaft, a plurality of fins for engaging the hide of an animal to prevent said nock from penetrating the hide, and an electronic tracking device;
- and
- an anchor tethered to said nock, wherein said anchor is positioned within said hollow distal end of said shaft when said proximal end of said nock is coupled to said distal end of said shaft;
- wherein said nock is operable to detach from said shaft when said fins engage the hide of the animal as said shaft moves through the animal;
- and
- wherein said anchor is operable to engage internal tissues of the animal to secure said nock to the animal.
