Abstract: A device and method introduces the use of conventional ammunitions to the archery/bow hunting industry. The device achieves stealthy delivery of firearm munitions and increases the firepower of standard arrows resulting in deeper penetration into a target. The device consists generally of a cylindrical housing threaded internally on one end for attachment to a firing pin. A cartridge is loaded into the housing until the flange on the cartridge casing abuts an interior shoulder. In an alternate embodiment, the interior of the housing further includes an annular retaining tab. The retaining tab separates the cartridge from the firing pin to prevent inadvertent discharge. A cap or nosecone may be included to further protect the device from accidental discharge of the cartridge and to provide aerodynamic advantages. The housing may further include a set of stabilizing vanes.

Abstract: A device and method introduces the use of conventional ammunitions to the archery/bow hunting industry. The device achieves stealthy delivery of firearm munitions and increases the firepower of standard arrows resulting in deeper penetration into a target. The device consists generally of a containment housing threaded internally on one end for attachment to a firing pin. A cartridge is loaded into the containment housing until the flange on the cartridge casing abuts an interior shoulder. In an alternate embodiment, the interior of the containment housing further includes an annular retaining tab integrally formed in the interior of the housing containment. The retainer tab separates the cartridge from the firing pin to prevent inadvertent discharge. A safety cap may be included on the containment housing to further protect the device from accidental discharge of the cartridge.
