Carbon Express Line Tracker
The principle behind Carbon Express Line Tracker Model 2500 professional game tracking device is very simple: you attach a long string to your Bowhunting arrow, then after your quarry has been successfully struck and runs off with your arrow, you simply follow the string to your prize. Many times an animal that is fatally struck by a well-placed arrow will bolt and run several hundred meters before expiring. And in most of New Zealand and large areas of Australia, the bush is thick enough so that finding an animal that has gone only 50 meters can often be difficult. The use of a line tracker will practically guarantee the recovery of your hard won trophy every time.
The wide-mouthed Game-Tracker canister mounts securely on the front of your bow by screwing it into the stabiliser bushing. These work equally well on compound bows and most recurve bows, provided that they have a bushing for a stabiliser. The large Line Tracker canister prevents line drag and reduces noise as the line spools off of the reel on the shot.
The Tracker consists of a lightweight plastic housing and a low-friction, center-wound spool with 762 meters (2500 yards)of 7.7 kg (17 pound) easy-to-see nylon line. That's over 3/4 of a kilometer of highly visible tracking line. In use, the line is attached to your hunting arrow and when you take your shot, the line trails out behind your arrow leaving an easy track to follow even after dark. When you need more line, order spare spools below. The line we have in stock is white, not orange as shown in the photo.

Using the Carbon Express Line Tracker while bowhunting doesn't eliminate the advantage you get from waiting a half hour or so to start tracking after arrowing an animal. This wait gives your quarry time to expire peacefully and usually within a relatively short distance from where it was struck. If you charge in immediately after shooting, the animal can receive a jolt of fear-induced adrenalin that can keep it running for hundreds of meters farther than it would have gone if you had simply left it alone for a few minutes.
In both Australia and New Zealand, the best time for bowhunting deer and other species is right on or just after sundown. If you shoot an animal at dusk and wait the recommended half hour before starting your tracking, you might find yourself in total darkness trying to follow a weak blood trail with your torch. Using a game tracker eliminates this problem as the white nylon line is easy to follow even on the darkest night.
