    摘要: A vane, for a projectile such as an archery arrow, including a ribbon strip having a leading ribbon edge that is twisted to induce spin of the projectile during its flight. The vane can include a base that mounts to a projectile surface. The ribbon strip can extend upward from the base and can be semi-rigid but flexible. The ribbon strip can include an intermediate portion spaced a distance from and free from attachment to the projectile surface so as to form a gap under the intermediate portion. The ribbon strip can include a second ribbon end that is attached to the base rearward of the first end. It also can include a fin that extends upward from the base within a gap between the ribbon strip and base. The ribbon strip alternatively can include a cantilevered second ribbon end that is free from attachment to the base and projectile.

    摘要: A lighted nock assembly may include an LED/battery assembly, a nock, a housing and a sleeve. The housing can be releasably coupled within the center opening of the nock sleeve and resist longitudinal translation of the battery relative to the nock sleeve. The nock translates longitudinally with respect to the nock sleeve between an activated configuration that activates the LED portion and a deactivated configuration that deactivates the LED portion without removing the LED/battery assembly from the nock sleeve.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus and kits for modifying natural feathers that are used in sporting goods that result in long lasting feathers with increased mechanical stability, reliability and durability as well as improved flight consistency are disclosed. Some of the sporting goods that use natural feathers are badminton shuttlecocks, arrow fletchings, and darts. The disclosed methods consist of controlled treatment of feather shuttlecocks with crosslinking agents to crosslink the keratin protein present on the natural feathers of the shuttlecock.

    摘要: An arrow vane protector having a central bore adapted to receive a shaft and nock of an arrow. Extending radially outwardly from the bore are a plurality of slits that are adapted to align with and receive a plurality of vanes attached to the shaft of the arrow. The protector frictionally holds the arrow in place.

    摘要: A nock insert may have an axis of elongation defining an axial direction and radial directions, a bowstring reception surface adapted to receive a bowstring, and an insert portion adapted for insertion into an arrow body. The nock insert may have one or more centering features having one or more spring tabs. Each spring tab may have a first end attached to the insert portion and a second free end extending axially from the first end and having a contact surface. The contact surfaces of each spring tab may be inherently biased outwardly in a radial direction and adapted to be radially deflected upon insertion of the insert portion into the arrow body.

    摘要: A tracking system for locating arrows used in bow-and-arrow hunting is disclosed. The tracking system comprises a hand-held transmitter operated by a user and a receiving module embedded in an arrow. A user may locate an arrow after shooting my activating the transmitter to emit an RF signal. The receiving module in the arrow receives the RF signal and emits a sound or illuminates a LED. The transmitter may be configured to locate specific arrows of a quiver by sending an individualized RF signal to which only a specific arrow receiving module is responsive.

    摘要: A high impact strength nock assembly that couples with, and decouples from, a bushing mounted in an arrow. The forces applied to the nock during launch are translated to the arrow through the bushing, greatly extending arrow life. For lighted nock applications, the nock translates within the bushing during launch to activate the light. A battery stop is coupled to the battery and releasably coupled within the center opening of the bushing that resists longitudinal translation of the battery relative to the bushing. Consequently, the light can be deactivated without removing the lighted nock assembly from the bushing. The entire lighted nock assembly is removable from the bushing for maintenance and replacement.
