  • Publication number: 20180149454
    Abstract: The present invention teaches an arrowhead of foam, having a front aperture leading to a front cavity: the front cavity is either an injectable paint cavity or a partial spherical shape, the aperture formed by the bisection of the cavity with the front end of the arrowhead and smaller in diameter than the cavity. The cavity diameter may be such that the resilience of the foam secures a paintball therein. The rear end of the arrowhead has a second aperture dimensioned and configured to secure an arrow shaft therein on a threaded connector. The arrowhead has a shock absorber mechanism and other details which provide for extreme cushioning of impact.
