ABSTRACT:
A game tracking arrow includes a two-part, separable tracking device mountable between the broadhead and the shaft of an arrow. The first part or member of the tracking device is in the form of a hollow, tubular housing threadingly attachable at one end to the broadhead. A stop is connected to the second member or stud which is threadingly mounted to and extends outward from one end of the arrow shaft. A collar is formed intermediate the ends of the second member and has a cross section larger than the cross section of the housing. A spool of line is disposed within the housing and is connected at one end to the stud. The stop is separable from the housing when the collar stops penetration of the shaft into the game to cause separation of the stop from the housing and broadhead embedded within the animal enabling the shaft to fall to the ground and the line to unwind from the spool as the game moves from the location of the shaft on the ground. In one embodiment, a plurality of resilient fingers are formed adjacent the second end of the first member and retain the stop to separably attach the second member to the first member. In another embodiment, a biasing member is mounted on the second member and is compressible between the second member and the side wall of the first member to enable sliding retention of the second member in the first member.
