  • Publication number: 20170184381
    Abstract: The present application includes a shaft body for attachment to an arrow shaft. The shaft body includes a notch for locating a portion of a pivoting blade. The pivoting blade is configured to pivot relative to the shaft body about a pivoting member. The pivoting blade operates between a retracted orientation and an extended orientation. A band is configured to seat within one of a plurality of shaft body grooves around the shaft body and pivoting blade so as to secure the pivoting blade in the retracted orientation for handling prior to flight and during flight. Upon impact the band is unseated and the pivoting blade transitions to an extended orientation to increase the damage area on the target.
