ABSTRACT:
A tracking arrow system is disclosed. The system includes a standard aluminum hollow cylindrical arrow having a near end and a far end. The system also includes a nock coupled to the fletch end of the arrow with an orifice where the paint in the fletch end is released and a bow string tip. A plunger component is provided within the arrow to hold the paint before an impact forces the paint down the arrow and out the end of the arrow orifice after impact. A large spring rod is built into the plunger and supports the large bore spring. A large spring rod is provided with release catches. The large spring rod has a nut for attachment to the end of the large spring rod. A small spring rod is provided having a stop nut on one end. A small spring rod nut stop is also provided. A large bore spring is adapted to push the plunger into the paint when released. A small spring rod bracket is provided wherein the small spring rod bracket and the spring stop are fixed to a non-moving part. A small head spring is located between the small spring rod bracket and the head point. The spring is compressed by the head pushing it forward on impact, automatically recocking the head. Double release rods are provided having ends and the ends have small hooks.
