A tracking apparatus for use in tracking an arrow, crossbow bolt, or other suitable projectile, includes an electronics unit configured to be connected to a shaft of the projectile. The electronics unit includes a radio frequency ('RF') module. The RF module is electrically associated with a head of the projectile to cause the head to function as a first RF radiating element. The RF module is electrically associated with the shaft to cause the shaft to function as a second RF radiating element. One of the first RF radiating element and the second RF radiating element can be a poise, and the other of the first RF radiating element and the second RF radiating element can be a counterpoise.
