ABSTRACT:
An arrow transmitter comprises a head assembly having an arrow having a tip. Extending from the arrow is a shaft having a neck that terminates at a threaded portion. A tubular shaft assembly defines a first shaft cavity with a first exterior wall and first and second ends. The tubular shaft assembly also comprises fletching that is fixedly mounted onto the first exterior wall and a nock mounted onto the first end. A plugged housing assembly is housed within the tubular shaft assembly. A transmitter assembly is housed within the housing assembly. A global positioning system tracking unit determines a precise location of hunted game once struck and after the transmitter assembly is activated when a force overcomes the spring force of the spring member. Thus, causing the actuator pin to make contact with the first protrusion to activate the switch that activates the transmitter assembly.
