Weight adjusted target point

A weight adjusted target point preferably includes a weight collar and an adjustable weight arrow tip. The weight collar includes a round outer diameter and a curved length. The length is curved, such that a diameter of the middle of the weight collar is greater than a diameter at each thereof. An arrow tip shaft bore is formed through the weight collar. A length of the arrow shaft bore is at least the same as an outer diameter of the arrow shaft. The adjustable weight arrow tip includes a target tip and an adjustable length shaft. A largest diameter of the tip is equal to an outer diameter of the weight collar at an arrow tip shaft diameter end. The adjustable length shaft includes a plurality of break away segments. Each break away segment is preferably 10 grains, but other values may also be used.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to archery and more specifically to a weight adjusted target point, which is located by an outside diameter of an arrow shaft for greater shooting accuracy.

Discussion of the Prior Art

U.S. Pat. No. 5,269,534 to Saunders et al. discloses an adjustable weight arrow point. U.S. Pat. No. 9,410,773 to Greenwood discloses an adjustable archery arrow insert. However, the above patents do not teach or suggest relying on an outer diameter of an arrow shaft for the radial support for the location of a weight collar. The outer diameter of the arrow shaft is ground to a tolerance of 0.0002 inch, which is less than a tolerance of an inside diameter of the arrow shaft.

Accordingly, there is a clearly felt need in the art for a weight adjusted target point, which is located by an outside diameter of an arrow shaft for greater shooting accuracy.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a weight adjusted target point, which is located by an outside diameter of an arrow shaft for greater shooting accuracy. The weight adjusted target point preferably includes a weight collar and an adjustable weight arrow tip. The weight collar includes a round outer diameter and a curved length. The length is curved, such that a diameter of the middle of the weight collar is greater than a diameter at each thereof. An arrow tip shaft bore is formed through a length of the weight collar. An arrow shaft bore is formed to a depth of at least 60% of a length of the weight collar. A length of the arrow shaft bore is at least the same as an outer diameter of the arrow shaft or arrow shaft bore. Alternatively, a length of the arrow shaft bore is equal to at least twice the outer diameter of the arrow shaft or the arrow shaft bore. The diameter of the arrow shaft bore may vary from 0.1 to 0.25 inches. The weight collar preferably has a weight range between 10 grains to 150 grains.

The adjustable weight arrow tip includes a target tip and an adjustable length shaft. A largest diameter of the tip is preferably equal to an outer diameter of the weight collar at an arrow tip shaft end. The adjustable length shaft includes a plurality of break away segments. Each break away segment is preferably 10 grains, but other values may also be used. In use, a particular weight of the weight collar and an adjustable weight arrow tip with a particular number of segments is decided upon. An end of the arrow shaft is inserted into the arrow shaft bore. A bonding substance is applied to at least one of the adjustable length shaft and an inner diameter of the arrow shaft. The adjustable length shaft is then inserted into the inner diameter of the arrow shaft.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a weight adjusted target point, which is located by an outside diameter of an arrow shaft for greater shooting accuracy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

With reference now to the drawings, and particularly toFIG. 1, there is shown a side view of a weight adjusted target point1. With reference toFIGS. 2-5, the weight adjusted target point1preferably includes a weight collar10and an adjustable weight arrow tip12. The weight collar10includes a round outer diameter and a curved length14relative to a lengthwise axis16. The curved length14is such that a diameter “A” of the middle of the weight collar10is greater than a diameter “B” and “C” at each end thereof. An arrow tip shaft bore18is formed through a length of the weight collar10. An arrow shaft bore20is formed to a depth of at least 60% of a length of the weight collar10. A length of the arrow shaft bore20is at least the same as an outer diameter102of an arrow shaft100or the arrow shaft bore20. Alternatively, a length of the arrow shaft bore20is equal to at least twice the outer diameter102of the arrow shaft100or the arrow shaft bore20. The diameter of the arrow shaft bore20may vary from 0.1 to 0.25 inches. The weight collar10preferably has a weight range between 10 grains to 150 grains.

The adjustable weight arrow tip12includes a target tip22and an adjustable length shaft24. A largest diameter “D” of the target tip22is preferably equal to the outer diameter B of the weight collar10at an arrow tip shaft diameter end25. The adjustable length shaft24includes a plurality of break away segments26. Each break away segment26is preferably 10 grains, but other values may also be used. The weight collar10and the adjustable weight arrow tip12are preferably fabricated from stainless steel.

In use, a particular weight of the weight collar10and an adjustable weight arrow tip12with a particular number of segments26is decided upon. An end of the arrow shaft100is inserted into the arrow shaft bore20. A bonding substance is applied to at least one of the adjustable length shaft24and an inner diameter104of the arrow shaft100. The adjustable length shaft24is then inserted into the inner diameter104of the arrow shaft100.
