Spin Point for Archery Arrows

Abstract

A spinning point for an arrow which is rotatable independently from an arrow shaft to which it is connected. The point has an arrowhead and a sleeve, with the arrowhead and the sleeve axially aligned, and the arrowhead has a main body and a stem which are a unitary element. The stem has a diameter less than the diameter of the second end of the main body of the arrowhead, and extends from the second end of the main body of the arrowhead. The sleeve is cylindrical and is disposed about the stem, and is secured to the stem with a clip. The sleeve is dimensioned to allow it to be slipped over the stem of the arrowhead. The stem and the arrowhead are capable of spinning or rotating together relative to the sleeve and the arrow. The stem may comprise cut points to allow for adjusting the weight of the target point to a more precise weight based on the choice of the archer.

I claim: 
     
         1 : A spinning point for mounting to an end of a shaft of an arrow, said spinning point comprising an arrowhead that freely rotates relative to a rotation of the arrow,
 wherein said arrowhead comprises a unitary main body and stem manufactured as a single element, and   wherein said spinning point further comprises a sleeve disposed upon said stem, said sleeve arranged such that said arrowhead freely rotates relative to the rotation of the arrow both when the arrow is in flight.   
     
     
         2 : The spinning point of  claim 1 , wherein
 a. said arrowhead has a main body having a first end which is substantially pointed and a second end, and   b. said arrowhead has a stem having a diameter less than a diameter of said second end of said main body, and   c. said stem has a first end and a second end, and said first end of said stem extending from said main body from the second end of said main body, and   d. an annular groove disposed adjacent the second end of said stem.   
     
     
         3 : The spinning point of  claim 2 , wherein said sleeve is cylindrical and dimensioned to allow it to be disposed upon said stem, and wherein said sleeve is securable to said stem by placement of an e-clip or c-clip into said annular groove on said stem. 
     
     
         4 : The spinning point of  claim 3 , wherein said unitary main body and stem of said arrowhead and said sleeve are disposed in axial alignment to each other such that, when said spinning point is attached to an arrow, said unitary main body and stem of said arrowhead freely rotates independent of said arrow. 
     
     
         5 : The spinning point of  claim 1 , wherein said stem of said unitary main body and stem extends past the position of the sleeve, and further comprises a cut point along said extended stem. 
     
     
         6 : The spinning point of  claim 5 , further comprising a plurality of cut points spaced evenly along said extended stem. 
     
     
         7 : The spinning point of  claim 6 , wherein said cut points are spaced to divide said stem into predefined weighted portions weighing 5 to 15 grains each.
