The entangling projectile includes an anchor including a head segment, a tail segment, and a shank segment intermediate the head and tail segment. One or more hook segments are carried adjacent the head segment, the one or more hook segments operable to engage the person of a subject about which the entangling projectile has been deployed. An attachment bay is formed in the shank segment and a tether is coupled to the anchor within and extends from the attachment bay. A tether attachment is carried by the anchor distally from the attachment bay, the tether attachment operable to engage the tether and maintain the tether in a taught condition between the tether attachment and an end of the anchor.
