Broad head cover device

A broad head cover device for inhibiting contact with a broad head during storage and transport, the device comprising:

• a pair of clamshell portions being positionable around the broad head to enclose the broad head between said clamshell portions, one of said clamshell portions being hingedly coupled to the other one of said clamshell portions to permit pivoting of said clamshell portions between a closed position and an open position, each of said clamshell portions comprising:
• a head portion capable of receiving a portion of the broad head when said clamshells portions are enclosed over the broad head, said head portion of each of said clamshell portions being substantially cone shaped when said clamshell portions are in a closed position, said head portion having a plurality of knockouts positioned in said head portion, each of said knockouts being removable from said head portion to expose one of a plurality of weep holes extending into said head portion, each of said weep holes permitting liquid on the broad head to drain from said clamshell portions;
• a shaft sleeve being integrally coupled to a base edge of said head portion, said shaft sleeve receiving a portion of an arrow shaft when said clamshell portions are closed around the broad head, said shaft sleeve having a substantially semi-cylindrical shape;
• a liner being coupled to an interior surface of said shaft sleeve, said liner abutting the arrow shaft to inhibit sliding of said clamshell portions along the arrow shaft when said clamshell portions are positioned around the broad head, said liner being comprised of a resiliently compressible material to accommodate arrow shafts of varying diameters and to increase friction between said liner and the arrow shaft;
• and
• a latching assembly including a first mating portion and a second mating portion, said first mating portion being coupled to one of said clamshell portions and said second mating portion being coupled to the other one of said clamshell portions, said first mating portion mating with said second mating portion to releasably secure said clamshell portions in the closed position, said first mating portion including a lip extending outwardly from a free edge of said head portion of the associated one of said clamshell portions, said first mating portion including a pair of leverage tabs being coupled to said free edge of said head portion on opposing sides of said lip, said second mating portion including a latch tab being coupled to said free edge of said head portion of the associated one of said clamshell portions, said latch tab being extendable over said lip of said second mating portion to releasably secure said clamshell portions in the closed portion, said latch tab being positioned between said leverage tabs when said clamshell portions are in the closed position.
