Pro-tracker Archery

Gary Christensen and Mike Ferguson started Pro-Tracker Archery in 2009 not as engineers, but as U.S. Army veterans and bowhunters tired of losing game in the backcountry. Through trial, error, and stubbornness, they engineered products that work. Today the company holds over a dozen patents and manufactures archery equipment from its headquarters in Rexburg, Idaho.

"Born in a garage. Proven in the backcountry. We're here to revolutionize hunting with products that simply work."

The flagship product is a radio frequency-based recovery system that locates arrows after impact. Here's how it works:

Three-part system: - 7075 Aluminum Carrier (screws into arrow shaft, 100 grains) - Radio Frequency Transmitter (120 grains, attaches to animal on impact) - Receiver with digital display (tracks transmitter signal up to 2 miles)

The transmitter uses a shear pin connection that breaks only on impact—staying secure through arrow flight. Once attached to the animal, it broadcasts for 18-20 hours of battery life. The receiver shows distance, transmitter number, tracking time, and battery status. Backlit display works in daylight and pitch-black woods.

Key advantages over GPS/Bluetooth: - Radio frequency works in mountainous terrain where GPS satellites can't reach - Transmitter is small and light enough to fit in arrow (GPS would be too bulky) - Range up to 2 miles vs. Bluetooth's 50-yard limit - Works with no cell service

Bad Boys® FOC sleeves reinforce arrow shafts at natural breakpoints. The Friction Grip Collar System increases front-of-center weight and momentum for deeper penetration and cleaner pass-throughs. The newly relaunched Deadly Series arrow shafts build on this innovation.

All shaft products come with a guarantee to replace broken arrows—Gary and Mike stand behind their work.

Arrow flight considerations when adding the system: - Cut existing arrow 3.5" shorter (removes 35-45 grains depending on shaft type) - Net weight addition: 55-65 grains (carrier minus cut shaft) - Transmitter adds 120 grains - Total system weight is front-loaded in shaft center for balanced rotation - Carrier raises arrow ~2mm on rest to compensate for weight

The FOC Calculator tool is available on their site to dial in your specific setup.

The system is a recovery device, not a pre-shot tracking system. Legal status varies by state—Pro-Tracker provides a state-by-state guide on their site. Check local regulations before use.

Works with: - All major arrow shafts - All broadhead types (including range-expandable heads) - Crossbows (includes Crossbow Secure Bands for added retention)

Transmitter is waterproof; receiver is water-resistant.
