A arrow system embodying a glue-in configuration or screw-over configuration of broadhead to arrow shaft connection is provided. The glue-in configuration provides an externally threadless broadhead shank for slidably reception into the complementary and cross-sectionally coextensive lumen of the arrow shaft. The screw-over configuration provides a broadhead with female internal threading that operatively associates with male threading of an insert that interconnects the broadhead to the lumen of the arrow shaft.
1. An arrow system comprising:
a broadhead;
an insert;
an arrow shaft defining a lumen having a slot associated with the broadhead,
wherein a proximal end of the broadhead has internal female threading, wherein a distal end of the insert has external male threading operatively associative with the internal female threading, and wherein a proximal end of the insert is dimensioned to snugly slide into the lumen; and
a boss feature directly connected to a terminus of said distal end of the insert so that the boss feature locates said slot when the insert is snugly slid in the lumen.
2. The arrow system of claim 1 , wherein the boss feature has an outer diameter substantially less than a diameter of the distal end of the insert.
