Abstract:
An aerodynamic tip for an archery arrow includes a nipple centered on the face of the tip and surrounded by projections at the outer diameter. Air striking the rounded ends of the projections is diverted toward the rounded end of the nipple. As the air is diverted by the nipple it flows into radial grooves along the side of the body of the tip, where it passes into the atmosphere, minimizing air resistance encountered by the tip as it traverses its flight path. On contact, the energy and mass is concentrated to the projections, causing immediate penetration of the target by the front portion of the tip, with the remainder of the tip following. After impact, the radial grooves channel blood away from the tip as it penetrates the flesh of the target, allowing the arrow to completely travel through the target, achieving a “through and through” shot.
