Arrows have been used to hunt and dispatch animals, both land and water based, throughout human history. The estimated number of bow hunters in the U.S in 2023 was 4.91 million (statista.com) and the number is only expected to grow. From the earliest sharpened sticks to today’s metal, carbon, or fiberglass arrows as well as the variety of tips available, the purpose has remained the same – dispatching an animal quickly and efficiently.
Current hunting procedures involve shooting the animal and waiting for it to expire. Many times the animal is not aware it has been hit and will run away. Often the arrow will pass completely through leaving the hunter waiting for the animal to expire from blood loss. The hunter must then track an injured and possibly dangerous animal for minutes or hours, often in difficult territory and unfavorable weather conditions, until it collapses. If the animal wanders away without being found, the hunter will often attempt to shoot another animal in order to gain a trophy, reach their game limit, or use up their license tag.
None of the currently available arrow products do anything to address ways to accelerate the wound blood flow after the wound has been inflicted. The Syncope Arrows are a revolutionary advancement in ensuring accelerated blood flow that rapidly stops a targeted animal and significantly improves harvesting – the recovery of the animal, all while minimizing the pain and suffering of the targeted animal.
PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS
Special features
- Two part construction allowing initial impact damage and secondary prevention of wound closure
- Leading arrow detaches and exits the animal
- Lagging arrow remains providing a channel for faster blood loss
- Optional tether between leading and lagging arrows
PRODUCT DETAILS
Rule number one in wound care is to stop the bleeding. The Syncope line of arrows prevents wound closure and therefore ensures MAXIMUM blood flow and blood loss. In essence, the Syncope performs like a deadly stent. It prevents the wound from closing on itself, but since it has perforations throughout its length, every ounce of blood flowing from a severed vein, artery, or organ has an UNRESTRICTED path out of the animal. With The Syncope Arrows, all the ways in which Mother Nature has perfected the survivability of an animal are rendered useless. Adrenalin, which causes restriction in the arteries and veins, cannot produce the desired effect since The Syncope Arrows leave an unrestricted pathway for blood to leave the animal. Even if the animal were to find cover and bed down, this “stent” function of The Syncope Arrows prevents the coagulation of the blood. The diameter of the remaining arrow is simply too large for any wound to achieve coagulation of the blood at any point along the wound cavity and especially at the entry/exit site of the wound. The mechanics of the design are simply too large for the clotting of the blood to even occur.
This all leads to a very predictable outcome.
If you hit your target properly, YOU WILL TAKE YOUR ANIMAL HOME!
In short, The Syncope Arrows will be the single greatest advancement in animal harvesting ever brought to market. It will significantly reduce the number of animals that are wounded and NOT harvested. The Syncope Arrows have the potential to become the most humane hunting arrow in the industry.
The Syncope Coaxial Arrow consists of a leading and lagging arrow that has multiple options for how they are connected. One method involves two different diameter arrows that are coaxially integrated. The leading arrow exits the animal while the lagging arrow remains. Alternatively, another method is a disconnecting or breakable mid-section. In both cases, the leading arrow provides the initial impact, wound cavity, and penetration of the animal.
The lagging arrow is hollow with holes that provide a channel for the blood to exit. These holes can be an assortment of shapes and sizes, grooves, slits or scallops. Without the contribution of the sizable mass of the broadhead, the momentum/energy of the lagging arrow is not sufficient for it to continue through the animal and therefore remains. There are additional options for “mechanical stops” that ensure the lagging arrow remains with both ends OUTSIDE of the animal.
With the lagging arrow remaining within the animal, it prevents the wound from closing or collapsing and encourages rapid blood loss leading to syncope – or the animal losing consciousness.
In keeping with Syncope concept, another patented design uses a single, one piece arrow. However, the Broadhead is replaced with an open-ended circular cutting blade akin to a hole punch. As the arrow penetrates the animal, it fills with the animal’s mass that enters the opening at the front of the arrow. This design is similar in function to a surgical biopsy trocar. When the arrow exits the animal, there is NO Material in the hole for the wound to collapse upon because it has exited the animal IN the arrow. The remaining hole becomes a pathway for the blood to exit the animal leading to syncope – the animal losing consciousness.
Another Patented OPTION for the coaxial arrow is a tether line between the leading and lagging arrow. One function of the tether is to PULL the lagging arrow along the wound cavity until the mechanical stops prevent further penetration. The optional tether can perform four (4) other functions: retaining the leading arrow with the animal, as a visible trace for the hunter to follow, to entangle the animal with surrounding terrain and brush, and to cause additional damage when pulled or tangled in the terrain.
Additional OPTIONS for The Syncope Arrows include: rods located inside the lagging arrow that would disperse upon separation from the leading arrow increasing the wound cavity, an insertable payload cartridge containing any number of objects including – a tracking circuit, a homing beacon, an audible beeper, a strobe or other light, a chemical signal, a GPS transceiver, a cell phone-capable system, pyrotechnics, a flare, signaling gear, medicine, compressed gas cartridge, or a wicking material to encourage blood flow.
