US12644683 - Archery arrow and related method of manufacture

An archery arrow is provided to include a shaft that is tubular and includes an exterior surface and an opposing interior surface, with an insert secured to the shaft. The insert can define a hole configured to join a component, for example, a broadhead with the arrow. The hole can be round and concentric with the exterior surface of the shaft, and in some cases non-concentric with the interior surface. The insert can be adhered to the shaft and later machined to define the hole to provide the concentricity of the hole and the shaft exterior or an associated outer diameter. When a component such as a broadhead is joined with the arrow via installation in the hole, the component can be centered relative to the shaft exterior. A related method of manufacturing an arrow is provided.

US12578171 - Expandable broadhead for arrow

A broadhead for an archery bow. The broadhead includes a member, a first blade, a second blade, and a magnet. The first blade and the second blade are coupled to the member. The first blade and the second blade form a plane. The magnet is at least partially disposed within the member. In some examples, the magnet has a longitudinal axis extending perpendicular to the plane. In some examples, each of the first and second blades have respective cutout regions interfacing the magnet while the broadhead is in a first configuration and/or a second configuration.

US12553916 - System for measuring skew and speed of an arrow

An archery tuning apparatus includes two light detection units, each comprising a line laser source emitting a planar fan of laser light and a curved array of spaced-apart light sensors. The units are configured with parallel laser fans, creating an overlap target region when viewed along a normal axis. The curved sensor arrays, with radii of curvature approximating their irradiation distances, optimize detection accuracy. Integrated circuitry and software collect and analyze data from arrows shot through the target region during tuning sessions. The apparatus connects to a mobile device, which stores and displays tuning session information through a dedicated app. This system provides archers with precise measurements of arrow speed and skew, offering advantages over traditional paper tuning methods. The mobile interface allows for easy data management, equipment tracking, and remote technical assistance, enhancing the overall archery tuning experience.
