Abstract
When combined with a variety of shafts of various lengths, this unit will create pistol crossbow bolts, crossbow bolts and archery arrows of various sizes used for recreational shooting, competition shooting, small game hunting and archery fishing. These bolts or arrows can be use with pistol crossbows, crossbows and archery bows or any other device used to project said projectiles. This seven and one half inch fletch unit is a solid one piece unit made of a strong but, light weight plastic compound. It has a NOCK to hold the bow string in place. It has two FLAT WINGS and a stabilizing TAIL which creates an accurate and stable bolt or arrow flight. No other fletch unit has flat wings with a tail. These features allow the bolt or arrow to be easily viewed in flight. This also allows this bolt or arrow to be used for competition shooting because these projectiles can be easily located, scored and then retrieved from any type competition target. This Morris 80 PLASTIC SHARK FLETCH UNIT has a smoothed dowel shaped end to accept almost any type of tubular shaft used for creating bolts or arrows.

- This plastic fletch unit is designed to create pistol crossbow bolts, crossbow bolts and archery arrows. It is seven and one half inches in length with a smooth dowel shaped end to accept a variety of tubular shafts creating pistol crossbow bolts crossbow bolts and archery arrows. Total length of the bolt or arrow will depend on the length of any shaft used. This new fletch unit solves many problems often found with the common bolt an arrows using feathers as fletches.
- The commonly used pistol crossbow bolts, crossbow bolts and arrows use feather for fletches. Those fletches continually wear out or, become dismembered from the shafts forcing the user to continually replace the fletches. This newly created plastic fletch unit will never wear out or become dismembered from the shaft as, it is made of a solid piece of molded plastic with nylon reinforcement. The MORRIS 80 PLASTIC SHARK FLETCH UNIT solves those problems.
- A plastic fletch unit created by injection mold. Fletch unit composition is durable plastic with nylon reinforcement. Fletch unit is seven and one half inches in length. Fletch unit is designed with two wings to stabilize bolt elevation and a tail to stabilize directional flight. Fletch unit has a smooth dowel shaped tip designed to accept tubular shaped materials such as aluminum, fiberglass or carbon fiber to create pistol crossbow bolts, crossbow bolts and archery arrows of various lengths for target shooting, recreational shooting or hunting. No other fletch unit is designed with two wings and a tail and, uses this variety of materials to create bolts or arrows. This plastic fletch unit with its unique length, unique design and versatility in bolt and arrow usage, is designed to totally change and enhance the way any pistol crossbow bolt, standard crossbow bolt or archery arrow is created and used.
