Provided is a broadhead for an arrow having a shaft with a shaft bore. The broadhead comprises a ferrule and a plurality of blade members. The ferrule has a mating end and a tip end with a plurality of convex ridges being equiangularly spaced around the ferrule such that the ferrule has a tri-oval cross section. Each one of the ridges has a blade groove formed therein for receiving one of the blade members. The blade members each have a base portion that is shaped complementary to the blade groove so that the blade member may be axially insertable into the blade groove. The broadhead includes a shank extending outwardly from the mating end and which is threadably engagable into the shaft bore. An O-ring mounted on the shank is captured between the shank and the shaft bore when the broadhead is secured to the arrow at the mating end.

A shark deterrent device is disclosed. The device comprises at least two hollow cylindrical shafts, a tip, a twist-release mechanism, and at least one self-lock mechanism. The tip may be replaceable. The shark deterrent device is a retractable unit that is easy for a diver to carry and stow, and yet can be extended in order to deter a shark. The device is unlocked from its retracted position by twisting a collar, thereby unlocking the concentric shafts and allowing the unit to be fully extendable by hand. Once the unit is fully extended, a self-lock mechanism lock the unit to prevent it from retracting during use. The unit has a handle formed at one end of the outermost cylindrical shaft and a tip at the opposing end of the innermost cylindrical shaft. The tip may be replaceable and removed, and other useful tips may be attached.
