An arrow construction for use with a bow in hunting wild game provides an arrow shaft having a hollow interior. An arrowhead attaches to a leading end of the arrow shaft. A nock attaches to a trailing end of the arrow shaft. A stop member is provided within the shaft of the arrow and activates to an open position external to the shaft to restrain further travel of the arrowhead when it becomes embedded within the game. The stop member activates to the open position upon the arrow impacting the desired target. A slidably detachable arrowhead is also provided and is forceably detached from the leading end of the arrow upon the arrow\s impacting the desired target. The arrowhead translates along the arrow shaft in a direction toward the trailing end. Further translation of the arrowhead is prevented by an abutting engagement with the stop member in its activated position. A spring loaded nock at the trailing end of the arrow shaft is also provided and compensates for frictional losses inherited by the arrow upon disengagement of the arrow from the bowstring when the arrow is fired.
