ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for tracking an arrow and/or game animal shot in the sport of archery hunting is disclosed. The arrow contains a radio-frequency transmitter in a circuit also containing a power supply, and an inertia-activation switch in the shaft thereof. The circuit is of a size and weight so as not to alter the flight characteristics of the arrow. Once shot, the inertia-activation switch momentarily closes, causing the transmitter to transmit a signal. The archer carries a radio-frequency receiver with a directional antenna and a magnitude indicator and earphone coupled thereto to allow tracking and retrieval of the arrow and game animal.
