Abstract: A nock or an arrow having a nock with a chemical light source allows an archer or hunter to more easily locate and retrieve an arrow that has been shot from a bow. The nock is inserted into an arrow, wherein the nock comprises a body having an end for receiving a bowstring and an insert projecting from an opposing end. The body is formed of a translucent material for transmitting the light so that the light is visible to a user or others. The nock has a recess formed in the insert and the body. A chemiluminescent lightstick is utilized as the light source, and the insert is inserted into an end of the arrow.

Abstract: A bow holder for holding an archery bow when the bow is not being used while hunting. This base can be used on multiple type tree stands either vertically or horizontally depending on the tree stand used. The connection between the main base parts and wire holder allows a 360-degree pivot of the holder, which makes the bow more accessible for the hunter. The holder secures the bow from falling or being knocked off or out of its holder, but the bow holder also allows the bow to be easily taken by the hunter by simply tilting the bow toward the hunter and lifting the bow out of the holder.

Abstract: The present invention is a shrinkable tube with pre-attached fletching with or without cresting. When heat is applied to the tube, it only takes seconds to shrink the tube to the arrow. The tube will shrink to a tight and secure fit on any size-hunting arrow. The fletching can be made with plastic vanes or feathers of any length, size or color. The shrinkable tube can be of any thickness or color or of any length, with or without cresting designs. This shrinkable fletching will allow hunters to fletch their own arrows in most situations. The situations where the shrink fletching can be used are unlimited as long as access to a proper heat source is available.
