Scent dispersing arrow

Abstract

A scent dispersing arrow having a field tip, a shaft, a tail end, and a chamber in the shaft. The field tip allows the scent dispersing arrow to easily penetrate and remain standing in the ground. The shaft has two parts, separable at a point on the shaft that contains the chamber. The chamber has a plurality of holes in a portion of its wall that allow a scent contained within to disperse into the air only when a scent stick moves from the tapered end of the chamber to the section containing the holes, upon impact of the arrow with the ground. The tail end of the shaft contains a plurality of feathers or vanes which stabilize the scent arrow during flight. The chamber spans from a short length in the front part of the shaft to a tapered end in the back part of the shaft near the tail section. A solid scent holding stick within the chamber will disperse a scent into the air through the plurality of holes in the chamber walls.

1 . An scent dispersing arrow, comprising:
 a shaft having a front part and a back part, the front and back parts being removably connectable, a chamber located in the shaft with a portion of the chamber in the front part and a portion of the chamber in the back part, a plurality of holes in the walls of the chamber;   a field tip at the front end of the front part of the shaft;   a tail section at the back end of the back portion of the shaft; and   a slidable scent holding stick in the chamber.   
   
   
       2 . The arrow of  claim 1  wherein the field tip has a conical shape that comes to a point. 
   
   
       3 . The arrow of  claim 1  wherein the shaft can be separated into two sections so that the scent holding stick can be inserted into the shaft. 
   
   
       4 . The arrow of  claim 3  wherein the front part and back part of the shaft are connected by a friction hold. 
   
   
       5 . The arrow of  claim 3  wherein the front part and back part of the shaft are connected by threading. 
   
   
       6 . The arrow of  claim 1  wherein the chamber walls taper to a smaller diameter near the back end of the chamber in the back part of the shaft. 
   
   
       7 . The arrow of  claim 1  wherein the scent stick is a solid scent wick. 
   
   
       8 . The arrow of  claim 1  wherein the scent stick is an absorbent pad containing a liquid scent. 
   
   
       9 . The arrow of  claim 7  wherein the plurality of holes are positioned towards the front of the chamber. 
   
   
       10 . The arrow of  claim 1  wherein the front end of the chamber in the front part of the shaft is high enough on the shaft so that this part of the shaft will not be buried when the arrow penetrates the ground.
