Abstract

An archery bow with a game finder attachment enables game shot with an arrow to be located over 1200 feet from the point of shot yet does not effect the flight of the arrow at reasonable distances. In the preferred embodiment the attachment includes an elongated tubular canister which is easily mounted to the bow and disposable prepackaged string, wound in a manner that causes the inner wound end of the string to be fed first and the outwardly wound string last so as to substantially reduce the amount of drag imposed upon the arrow to which it is attached, which can simply be dropped into the elongated canister.
