  • Patent number: 11340051
    Abstract: A hunting arrow having an arrow shaft with a front end and a back end. The hunting arrow has at least one arrow blade attached to the arrow shaft, and has a closed position and at least one open position. The at least one arrow blade is substantially flush with the arrow shaft when in the closed position, and extends radially outward from the arrow shaft when in an open position. In addition, the hunting arrow has an arrow tip that is attached to the front end of the arrow shaft and is capable of moving longitudinally toward or away from the arrow shaft. The arrow tip is operatively engaged with the at least one arrow blade so that the arrow tip opens and closes the at least one arrow blade by moving relative to the arrow shaft.

  • Patent number: 9410777
    Abstract: Applicants have created improved systems and apparatuses for a ballistic arrow used to penetrate the surface of a target. The apparatus includes an arrow tip, a support feature, and a collar partially disposed about the support feature. The apparatus further includes a plurality of primary blades disposed radially about the support feature and a plurality of secondary blades partially disposed between the primary blades. The system includes an arrowhead and arrow shaft coupled to the arrowhead. The arrowhead includes an arrow tip, a support feature, and a collar partially disposed about the support feature. The arrowhead includes a plurality of arrow blades adapted to expand radially outward from the support feature upon impact of the arrow tip with a target. The apparatuses and systems described throughout this disclosure can improve the both the reliability and lethality of a ballistic arrow used to hunt game and other wildlife.
