Get the complete Pro-Tracker Recovery System. Everything you need to guarantee the recovery of your trophy.
The Pro-Tracker® Recovery System is a radio frequency system that is used in bowhunting. The radio transmitter rests in a carrier on the shaft of your arrow and deploys when the arrow penetrates the hide of the animal. The arrow continues to penetrate and the transmitter remains in the hide. The transmitter has a battery life of 18–20 hours and a range up to 2 miles. This means that if regular tracking methods are exhausted, the Pro-Tracker Recovery System can be used to locate your trophy.
The Pro-Tracker Recovery System ensures the recovery of your fatally wounded game. Every ethical hunter is troubled by the thought of losing wounded game, the Pro-Tracker® System allows for recovery of wounded game through the use of the latest technology. A poor shot, weather conditions and other factors out of a hunter’s control can make tracking impossible. Depending on a blood trail can result in failure. Unlike a lighted nock, the Pro-Tracker® System tracks your game, not just your arrow by detaching from the arrow and into the hide of the animal. Using radio transmission, the transmitter allows you to pinpoint the location of your fatally wounded animal. Hunt with confidence, hunt with Pro-Tracker®.
*This recovery system is an entire system for ONE (1) transmitter hunt. There is 1 live transmitter and 1 dummy transmitter. Each charging unit can charge up to 2 transmitters. Additional accessories can be purchased.
Works on all broadheads. Mechanical broadheads need to open horizontally; transmitter and carrier must rest on top of the arrow
This package includes:
(1) Radio Frequency Transmitter Alpha. Bright Green optimized for high visibility in low light conditions. High tensile strength steel hook with three barbs.
(2) 7075 Aluminum Carriers – Black Carnivore. Made from the 7075 aluminum alloy used in aerospace programs to resist high velocity impacts.
(1) Tracking Radio Frequency Receiver with Backlit LED Screen. Tracks up to 6 transmitters at once and shows if animal is moving or stagnant.
(1) YAGI Antenna.
(1) Practice Dummy Transmitter Alpha. For sighting and practice shooting.
Use the hooked dummy transmitter only on soft targets! The target needs to simulate animal flesh/hide. The barbs might tear up your target and/or ruin your dummy– remember, it’s intended to go into flesh/hide!
Build your own soft target. Here’s are the DIY instructions.
(1) Dual Charger for Transmitters. Charges up to 2 Transmitters at once.
(1) USB Cable for Charger. For charging from USB plugs and batteries in the field.
(1) USB to Edison plug. For charging at home from wall outlets.
(1) Custom Carrying Case. Custom built for optimal protection of the system.
(30) Retainer Clips. New slick design to hold your transmitter in the carrier.
The crossbow set up is the same as the compound set up, with two exceptions: The O-Rings and the Secure Band. After the clip is resting against the Transmitter, slide on a black O-Ring. Its function is to secure the Clip and Transmitter in place. Screw on your arrow, being sure not to over-tighten. (Figure 8) You’ll then need to use the Secure Band to wrap around the Transmitter and Carrier. Correct placement of this Secure Band is vital! It must be wrapped around the transmitter as close to the Clip without covering the Clip.
The Secure Band should not cover the Transmitter light or any portion above the light. The Transmitter is designed to break away from the Band upon impact. Placing the Band higher on the Transmitter affects its ability to break free when it hits the animal. Figure 10 shows the correct placement.
Once the Transmitter is resting in the Carrier, slip on the Retainer Clip until it is snug against the Transmitter, then screw on arrow to further secure clip in transmitter.
IMPORTANT: The clip must face the correct way! The backside of the clip’s “C” curve needs rest on the Transmitter to properly hold it down . As an additional help, we try to always mark the side facing the arrow with red.
Impressed with the accuracy of the system + simplicity of function

Pro-Tracker is a solid system. I needed a few tweaks to get it to work properly with my crossbow. The system requires one to secure the tracker to the arrow a bit more with the crossbow, due to the increased velocity, when compared to a compound bow. Gary was very helpful as I worked with him in the past. He and his company were quite supportive. I look forward to touching base with him this year at NRA convention/show in Nashville.

I had to know if it works. So I went to my truck, forgot about the blood trail. I even came back in the wood in a different area. This thing took me right to my deer. I am a believer this thing really works… I will be using this thing for years to come

complete pass through… protracker worked perfectly. got to use this system on my bow kill this year..I’m terribly color blind and have lost recoverable animal in the past..I was considering giving up on bow hunting as i do not believe it is ethical to be hunting and know it will be extremely challenging to track an animal..this thing worked perfect..all of my doubts are gone..I had many questions about the operation of it and it limitations..the people there..Gary.. was extremely knowledgeable and patient.. I had many questions.. in the end it worked perfect..accurately hit..nice pass thru..transmitter stuck and started emitting on contact..battery operated fine…receiver worked perfect.. walked directly to the animal…the animal fled out of sight…which gave me a very bad feeling..in the past it’s about a 50/50 chance of me recovering it…I waited a half hour..flipped on the receiver and bingo got a reading…walked it right down.. perfect… really worked nice..thank you

It flies exactly where my pin is set up. I was pretty skeptical too with the hook, I thought for sure it'd throw off the flight and not be reliable. And I also wasn't sure if the dummy would be a good comparison to the real transmitter. But, true to their word, the flight was great and the accuracy was spot on. Simply put, I won't hunt without my recovery system!! Game changer!!!

[SITE ADMIN] Great question. Our engineers have tuned and balanced the system so your arrows will fly very well and straight. Yes, it does look quite radical with the hook(!) but it hits right where it's sighted in. With our own testings and customer reportings, the transmitter flies great at closer distances (20 yards) and great at farther distances (50-60 yards). Deadly accurate.
