ABSTRACT:
A miniaturized electronic transmitter tracking device (10) for mounting on the shaft of a hunting arrow (12) is provided. An integral membrane or diaphragm (38) attaches the transmitter to the arrow (12) in the preferred embodiment and allows the transmitter to break away from the arrow when the arrow strikes some object. A membrane switch (32) is activated when the face plate (40) of the device (10) impacts the animal. Barbed points (42) are driven into the surface of the struck animal by the force of the impact, thus firmly attaching the device (10) to the object. In its preferred embodiment, the transmitter device (10) is used in conjunction with a base receiver (16) to determine the transmitter's location after the arrow (12) has been fired.
