A cylindrical carbon fiber arrow shaft formed with an increased external diameter of 0.380 inches. This arrow shaft is formed with an axial bore which has a first internal diameter throughout a substantial portion of the shaft length, and a second internal diameter throughout the fletching end of the arrow. By varying the first internal diameter and the second internal diameter standard nocks may be used without the need for any spacer or insert, standard points may be used without the need for any spacer or insert and the location of the center of gravity may be adjusted on the arrow. |

The small diameter double cutter crossbow bolt of the present invention incorporates a midsection spacer having a plurality of blades, positioned mid-shaft of a small diameter shaft having a nock and a tip. The nock and midsection spacer has an outer diameter equal to the outer diameter of a standard bolt to ensure the centerline axis of the bolt is the same as a traditional crossbow bolt, allowing the use of the small diameter double cutter crossbow bolt in standard crossbow stocks and rails. In a preferred embodiment, midsection blade is formed with a lumen and is slid over the small diameter shaft. In an alternative preferred embodiment, the midsection spacer is a solid unit, joining two halves of a small diameter shaft. Thus, the small diameter double cutter crossbow bolt of the present invention provides a crossbow bolt capable of greater speeds, range, accuracy, kinetic energy, and lethality. |

A band-powered speargun has a release mechanism incorporating a line-drop feature for releasing a coiled line attached to a spear. An approach to attaching the line to the spear involves a linking ring having a size selected so that the ring passes over a protective cone near the spear tip and is captured by an element protruding outward from the spear shaft. The protective cone also shields hinged barbs from impact damage. |

A compressed gas gun fires arrows or other similar projectiles. A compressed gas delivery mechanism within the compressed gas gun ensures that a predetermined amount of compressed gas is used to fire an arrow during a firing operation. Various elements within the compressed gas gun can be selectively tailored to provide greater or lesser amounts of compressed gas during each firing operation. |

A cylindrical carbon fiber arrow shaft formed with an increased external diameter of 0.380 inches. This arrow shaft is formed with an axial bore which has a first internal diameter throughout a substantial portion of the shaft length, and a second, smaller, internal diameter throughout the fletching end of the arrow. The second internal diameter corresponds to the internal diameter of standard arrows having external diameters of 0.295 inches. Using this standard internal diameter at the fletching-end of the arrow, standard nocks may be used without the need for any spacer or insert, thereby decreasing fletching-end weight significantly and providing for the proper and more desired location of the center of gravity forward on the arrow. |

A metal arrowhead has a ferrule section for permanent attachment to the distal end of an arrow shaft and a point section selectively joined to the ferrule section. A spring catch assembly disposed in the ferrule section permits the point section to be quickly disconnected from the arrow shaft. Barbs on the point section captivate a fish and permit a tether line attached to the arrow to permit the fish to be landed. When the point section is removed from the shaft, the shaft may be pulled from the fish and the point section quickly re-attached. |

A projectile having a tubular projectile body and provided with pointed fins pivotally mounted at the front end of the projectile body. The head fins expand when the projectile strikes a target shark to prevent the projectile from passing clear through the shark and to present a wound which is covered by a searing agent which is released from the interior of the body when the projectile strikes the target. The searing agent sears the wound, eliminating bleeding which attracts predators. Several embodiments of the projectile are disclosed. |

A luring scent releasing arrow includes a hollow tubular metal shaft having a pad of absorbent material located within the shaft adjacent a group of openings through the wall of the shaft. A sleeve is mounted on the shaft for sliding movement forwardly of the shaft from a position in which the sleeve covers and seals all of the openings to a position where all of the openings are uncovered. This movement is induced by the impact of the arrow upon a targeted location. The absorbent pad is saturated with a scented liquid by unthreading a detachable blunted arrow head from the forward end of the shaft and pouring the liquid into the shaft. |
