An arrow including a shaft and an adapter. The adapter portion is initially
in an extended position where its rearwardmost end closes a fluid-entering
throughslot in a leading portion of the shaft to prevent air intake
therethrough and eddy currents produced thereby that effect flight of the
arrow, but upon, and by, impact in the game, the adapter portion is moved
to a retracted position where its rearwardmost end is moved rearwardly
allowing the fluid-entering throughslot to communicate with a
pin-riding/fluid entering throughslot in the adapter portion and provide
an entrance for fluid from game to enter, then run through a
fluid-carrying conduit in the adapter portion, and then out of a
fluid-exiting throughbore in the leading portion of the shaft so as to
make a quicker and ethical kill of the game and provide a trail to follow
to locate the game.
