Abstract: A game arrow and is specifically concerned with providing a game arrow which is adapted to be launched by a hand held whip-like wand and string assembly which is substituted for the conventional bow and arrow. Such bow and arrow assemblies require a great amount of strength by the shooter in order to flex the bow sufficiently to provide a sufficient shooting force. This problem is overcome by the game arrow and launching device of the present invention which is able to launch an arrow by a movement similar to that employed when shooting a slingshot which does not require even a fraction of the amount of strength necessary for shooting a conventional bow and arrow. Furthermore, attempts to provide a slot in a conventional wooden arrow have not been successful because of the substantial weakening of the shaft of the arrow by the slot which frequently cannot withstand even the slightest shock forces during normal use.
