- We look at a range of arrows. Often the first thing a new archer will look into buying (other than, of course, the bow), arrows aren't exactly simple to shop for. There are different types and sizes for different bows and uses. We'll examine the differences between different arrows and what money will get you.
We particularly look at the low-end Easton Jazz and the high-end Easton ACE.

This man has invoked within me a newfound passion… thank you brother for this incredibly accessible and useful presentation on arrows. It is a goldmine for a beginner.
Very informative. I remember going to the sporting store after having to scrounge up 75 cents, to buy an arrow. It was wood with a field tip. There weren't many choices, wood with 3 types of head. Or the aluminum with replaceable heads.
I would go to grandparents house for the weekend. I found the twine the newspaper was tied up with, grab a Bowie knife, got cut down twigs to make arrows and a bow. I kept busy, had a blast, and 90% of the time my arrows were cut there, no point, no knock, all carved. No feathers at all. I could dent a beer can 30 feet away pretty consistent. Great fun.
教えてくれて有難う御座いました！I have a disabled brother that is starting archery so I'm helping him figure it all out, this is so much more helpful than the other videos I've seen. Thank you so much for your efforts, cheers from Chicago in the US!
I bought a 45lbs takedown longbow for Christmas and your videos have helped a lot
And here I am shooting Poplar wood dowels from Walmart lol.
I apologise for hurting your American ears, kind sir. And that's "apologise" with an 's'.
P.S. - Let me know when you convert to metric.
LMFAO... thanks alot for your tips helping me pick out my arrows i dont like my 2219 stalkers lol
We're just not that smart. Guess it'll be a long time, lol.
Lmao 😂.... God Bless America!!!!
There are two types of countries, those that use metric and those that went to the moon.
@@Lvl18Meep Dear dumbo, NASA used metric SI system for measurements in the Apollo mission. So yeah US did go to the moon, but using the metric system.
Wooden arrows have a huge range of quality. Sure, you can buy $3 wooden arrows. But there are also well made wooden arrows costing well over $100 for half a dozen.
illyounotme That is correct. As you have probably figured out, I cater mostly for the Olympic-style archery. Wood arrows have more variety and application in outdoor and hunting, and it almost goes without saying that more expensive, well-made wooden arrows are better than $3 arrows.
Looking back at the video, I don't think I specifically said that wood arrows are low quality, and people do buy the cheap wooden arrows as an easy arrow, and I stated that wooden arrows are preferred by traditional shooters.
It's worth noting that stores that are geared towards sport archery tend to have less of a variety of wooden arrows available, and the wooden arrows they stock usually are of the cheap throwaway kind.
NUSensei
But you did comment that wood arrows are, "dirt cheap", which they can be.
Very new beginners can get a dozen serviceable lightweight arrows for around $35 a dozen, while a good quality 12 will be around $100 - $125. Compare this to about $125 to $150 for a dozen carbons (in the States, anyway).
One comment you might have made is that all materials other than wood are MUCH more durable and require much less care in storage and use, so at the end, aluminum, carbon, or composite might be a better value.
All good. I understand that criticism often does have good intent behind it, and I like to think I'm professional enough to see that purpose. I'm certainly not the authority on all things archery and, while I do spend time researching and putting different stands of knowledge together, I acknowledge that I can be wrong.
It's true. I shoot English longbow and I've just spent £116 (that's roughly $198) including shipping on the parts to make a new set of wood arrows for the next indoor season. That includes a fletching jig and other tools though as it's my first time making my own. Also a lot more time often has to be put in with wooden arrows as they have to be varnished etc. I've only been shooting traditional bows since January/Febuary and I was surprised myself at how complicated it is, sometimes even more so than recurve!
illyounotme
In my experience, although wooden shafts have a spine rating, it isn't just a case of buying the ones with the same rating as your draw weight. If you shoot a trad bow with a shelf or a fast trad bow, you might need arrows spined 15 - 20 lbs heavier than your draw weight. I shoot 60-65 spined 28 inch arrows with my 45 lb afb.
Love this...I have been shooting Traditional for a few years now...Thank you for your time and knowledge.
Since I am new to Archery and your channel I find your videos really useful. Its also cool to see how much your editing skills have improved
Great info... helped me alot. Thanks for taking the time to explain the fundamentals about arrows in a way that a newbie like me can understand it
Thank you for this. Very helpful and informative to me as I take up archery with my stepson. We've already lost 1 arrow and broken another, so we're into the "acquiring arrow information" mode now. Thanks again.
I am in my first months enjoying target archery. I have learned more from your videos than from anywhere else. Thank you so much. If you could can you talk about the different types of nocks, and what each purpose is for?
I was just wondering if you realised who you share a name with
as a hunter I prefer wooden shafts, many reasons for this and some are,,,they are inexpensive, amiss is not a worry if they are cheap, but i dont plan on being far enough away to miss,,,,, they are heavy ,so with my 55-60 pound compound or recurve or longbow at 20 mtrs they are going all the way through,, they are easy to tune to your bow so a lot less troublesom tinkering before a hunt,,,,,thats my two cents anyway.
mike little 3
Ni, it's really good to learn from people with knowledge like you , thanks.
Nu
NUSensei, I've purchased plenty of low cost arrows from eBay and Aliexpress (China direct) and they are never spined right. I gave up and now purchase locally from an archery shop or from Lancaster Archery here in the US in Pennsylvania. Better to pay for decent higher priced arrows than cheapy ones direct from China. I'm sure the more expensive are made in China but they are still held to higher standards and consistency when you pay for more expensive name brand arrows.
Also going from plastic/rubber fins to "feather" you get more accuracy, as the feathers compress when leaving the riser, vs rubber/plastic kind of kicks the back end out a bit.
love your videos, just got into archery got a 34# bow recurve, i followed your advice and not to over pound my draw weight. i pull 28 inches so i got 30 inch arrows, cheap i know, but great fun, just bought my son a bow as well, he is 10 so i got a cheap one just to see if he likes it for his birthday. i signed up for a course in bury, greater Manchester England. bowman of overdales for April
I'm just happy you made a Green Arrow reference 10/10
Thanks. Your videos are first rate. I'm sure you are an excellent archer. I'm learning from you.
Great vid mate.Recognised the Abbey archery web pages.Great Archery store.
Great video and really helpful. Good job and thanks.
I use wooden arrows from my recurve. Just back from a training course and noted my wooden arrows launch faster that aluminium but will likely slow more over range. Also, not affecting my turkey feathers, it was noted that different pigments in fletchings can affect how they behave so recommended having same colour all round. Then spent most of the course shooting bare arrows so most others had to strip fletchings off. Again my lower cost aluminium or wood less affected so not something I needed.
As I mostly do 3d shoots and target, I found out fast that with my traditional bow, which I shoot feathered carbon arrows, a miss , nicking a tree, or a root is never an issue. With my compound bow I have always shot aluminum, and if I hit anything denser than foam targets (target frame, target stake, target pin) I have a bent arrow...or damaged. I am quickly finding that carbon, while maybe twice the price for a comparable arrow, is the better idea!
i have 22 lb bow, i currently using easton tribute 1616 shaft which worked fine "very well for me"
but everyone is using the same one in here which make it quite confusing when theres 2 people shooting at the same target, so i want to have an arrow with different vane color
which shaft number i should get?
did you recommend getting feather fletch?
Andre Nathan If your 1616 shafts are fine, then get 1616 shafts. If you're shooting target, I generally recommend vanes rather than feathers, unless you're shooting off the shelf.
Thanks much! I appreciate your efforts.
Hey NuSensi, I'm just getting back into archery after a 30 year break, I'm 64 now ( I used to hunt with a compound back then). I recently bought a wooden recurve rated at #15, I have a 28"draw...I need a recommendation on what spine arrows to use carbon & aluminum. Nothing is etched in stone...I need a good starting point rather than wandering through the insane amount of choices.I'll worry about price later...I trust your judgment, I really need a good place to start, can you help me, Thanks for your time.
I'm looking into the arrows, and the Led nocks I'm looking to get (To help find the arrows in the grass) are 6.2mm. Which number should I get on the aluminum arrow to fit that? Using inches and all those calculations goes a little over my head.
awesome bro that was really informative, wish i had seen this when i was starting, way to go, Cheers
Super helpful. As are all your vids. Thanks!
Hi can I get some help. I'm after aluminium arrows as shoot on a school field. My draw weight is between 26/28lbs and a draw length of 28". What is best spin? Think I was told 1416 or 1616!
Great vid. Keep them coming mate.
Hi @nusensei, is it true that arrows with higher SP values are suitable for lighter poundage bows?
Nice Green Arrow ref bro
Great explanations, as usual!
I was about to get into arhcery but when i learn the bow i want to try doesnt come with arrows and when i looked up arrow bundles on amazon i got a large selection of course one that caught my attention but even then i still ran into a stalemate, what arrows are decent both quality and pricing lets say i have my sights on a 30lb recurve bow
I have a 20lb bow and I am shooting a 50-70lb. Is that going to affect anything?
I also have a collection of destroyed arrows lol
Honestly in the beginning I jus let the pro-shop where I got my recurve cut and fletch me some carbon impact arrows. Later I bought some out of the box ready to shoot carbon arrows and while they will do in a pinch they cannot touch the ones that were cut specific for me. Now I know enough to cut and fletch my own but in the beginning Id recommend paying the $.
I started out with cheap wooden arrows (what a mistake) that despite the fact I have bought the softest, thinnest ones my shop had available, still feel like I'm shooting logs. Then they end up flying in variety of peculiar ways often landing sideways. However, after four days of practice I'm down from ten to three usable arrows - two are lost, the rest is destroyed. So for the first practice round (some 600 shots i think) it was I think good enough.
For my second take on arrows I've gone for cheap fiberglass arrows, since I'm down to loosing and destroying even more of them. I plan to train hard for the rest of the holidays (I have forced vacation so it comes in handy) so I think destruction will be imminent. Also, these actually come at strength I need for my bow. With other types I had a lot of trouble actually matching my draw weight and length.
Make sure to flex test ur arrows in case there’s any cracking sounds from splintering.
Shooting a splintered or cracked fiberglass arrow can cause the shards to go through ur hand, pics are on line but their graphic .
hey, NUsensai. i have been having trouble finding the right arrows for my new bow. i am a beginner and as you mentioned i am one of those that is going to be in the garden/woods to practice shooting. i went to Hungary recently and found this awesome Hungarian horseman bow that was specially made for this small store, it is made from fiberglass covered in leather and is 133cm in length, i couldn't buy arrows since they would been taken from me at the airport. I have been trying to find the right arrows and meanwhile, trying to teach myself all about what i need to know. do you have any recommendations on stiffness, length and etc and where i could buy such arrows? it would mean the world to me, since i am gaining no luck in choosing the right ones.
nice video. I am a newb and I want to buy a compound bow. And I saw prices ranging from 300 $ to 2.500 $ . do you know whats the difference?
I do practice often with a recurve bow but it has a very light draw weight like a toy, I would say 5kg or less.. I want to try the big boys.
Ignore the haters. Thanks for the vids. They have been very helpful.
Can you do a vid on setting up a bow from scratch?
Thanks
Hello,
Ich look your videos and they are very good.
Can you make a video to explain the static and dynamic spine value?
That is a complex theme.
Also what happens if I short a arrow.
Is the spine changing or not? Because the spine is measured between to point which are 28 inches apart.
Can you try skylon frontier arrows? Heard skylon are very good carbon Arrows for the money
Can you tell us more about arrow tip weights? Where to use heavy, mid-weight, and light tips? Thanks.
Do you think a easton jazz 1716-1816 spine would work for a 30# bow. I just started archery recently and im now joining a target club. I need a arrow that flies straight and is relativly cheap. Would they work?
1716 sounds about right for a 30# bow.
i prefer wood.Always wood,coz i'm a traditionalist
John Colley same here
CeeOhDee987 r/holup
@@MetalKnightTV with a big tip
Wood? That's good.
That’s what she said.......
Zing!
Haha. I"m a relative beginner and lately have been trying to make sense of the arrow charts that are online. I'm a scientist with advanced degrees and over 50 publications in highly regarded medical journals, and I still have trouble with those arrow charts. Finally, somebody told me the other day all the info that I really need at this stage: If you have a lower draw-weight bow, you should use relatively less stiff arrows. If you have a higher draw-weight bow, you should use relatively stiffer arrows. Duh.
I tried buying arrows the other day online and it was the most confusing thing ever so I gave up. I am a first timer looking for a 28" arrow to shoot off of a samick sage. Can you help point me in the right direction for what to get on a budget?
Matt K Easiest thing to do is to call up an archery store, tell them your desired arrow length, the bow you use and your draw weight, and they'll match up the right arrow for you. Which kind of arrow you get depends on what you need them for. If you're just shooting for fun, aluminium arrows are right for you and cheap. If you want something lighter with better distance performance, you may want to look into carbon arrows.
Hello i need some advice. Im a beginner target archer and i shoot a 30# bow. Im not sure of ny draw lenght but the arrows i have right now are 30 inches and they work fine. Now im buying some new ones and i would like to know what type and what shaft. These numbers for shaft hardness or something is confusing. Could you give some advice pls.
First, you need to pick a shaft that you would like (based on performance or cost). Look up the arrow charts from that manufacturer (e.g. Easton) and look up your details (draw weight, arrow length, etc.) to get the right spine rating (i.e. the "number").
Thanks this was very helpful 👏😊
Hi NuSensei. I am a recurve archer from the Phillipines. I am wondering if arrows should only be cut to attain a whole number value such as 29",28",31",32" from point to nock. Because charts only show whole numbers. Is it possible for an archer to have a 29.5", 28.1/3", 27.3/8", 31.1/5" arrow measurement from point to nock? How does it affect the spine?
Thanks in advance and more power to your channel.
There's no reason why you can't cut arrows to any length. Fractions of an inch matter, though often an archer will cut their own arrows themselves or at a club/shop if they need to get a finer tune. The charts obviously cannot cover every possible length, but even a quarter of an inch will make a difference. Archers will be very careful with cutting arrows and move slowly to find a tune rather than hack apart a shaft that cannot be "extended".
Hello NUSensei... I have 30lbs Axiom+L set bow...
Can you suggest me what arrow stiffness for my bow?
I've read some tips that 400 arrow spine is correct for my bow setup, is it true?
That sounds way too stiff. You should consult arrow charts from arrow manufacturers. Stores use the same guides when recommending arrows.
Try the Easton arrow chart
I’d say 550-600
NUSensei, have you played Kingdom Come: Deliverance? Do you happen to understand the different types of arrows and bows there in context of how close these are to reality?
I have a approx 30 pound draw bow that seems to be shooting great with 31" arrows 350 spine and 100 grain tips. QUESTION: Does the distance to target also effect the flight?
350 spine for 30 pound? Jesus
What brand of silver arrows would you recommend?
If you have a recurve or horsebow from 25 lbs to 30 lbs the Easton inspire 630 carbon is the best and "cheapest" I've ever come across.
Hi Sensei, could you make a short video solving the mystery of the different lengths that fetches come in? i.e. when you would use a long vane and when short? What is better? Are some just for compound bows?
Hey Sensei! i have a question for ya, im a begginer compound archer and i train on my own , i bought a compound bow which came with 6 Carbon arrows .
if i have Aluminium arrows who are the same length as my Carbon arrows can i use them with my compound bow ?
i know that arrows usually need to match the bow in order to not Damage the bow wings (because of differences between the weight of Carbon and Aluminium arrows
what should i do?
Length is not the main factor. The arrows should have the same spine. Compound bows are a bit more forgiving for mismatched spine, but the arrows will not fly the same.
I see , then should i continue using the Carbon arrows then?
the last thing i want is to damage my bow wings
thanks for the answer ,love your Videos!
Awesome video man
What would be a suitable arrow for a 30# 56” Mandarin Duck Phantom Takedown Recurve Bow? (Beginner Level).
Use pure carbon arrows you can refer table, which spine are suitable for your draw weight and your draw length..30lbs, you can use 700 spine 30 inch length or 800 spine with 29 inch..point grain from 70grn to 90grn..if point weight are 100 grn, it is a bit heavy for 30lbs bow..
Hi, I have a question, has anyone tried the 30 inch carbon arrows made by GPP that sell for $29.00 a dozen?
I have heard a lot of opinion but I would love to see someone review them and show why they are garbage or not.
I am buying a black hunter because you had the balls to shoot one and review it honestly. Too many people look at the price and say OH their Crap...
This video needs to be updated ASAP
I am looking into new arrows myself. I have three choices I was looking into, but not sure.
1: x10s
2: Easton; Carbon ones
3: Carbon express SSTs.
I would choose teh x10s however they seem to cost way more then I wiosh to spend at this time. Do you suggest any of teh other two or have other suggestions?
Easton Carbon Ones are a safe mid-range choice. X10s is serious high-performance competition stuff.
NUSensei I just ordered some Carbon one arrows. Can not wait to get them in. I also just had a training session with a coach and the vanes he suggested was the ELI vanes Have you ever used these vase or do you stick to spin wings?
I've seen them but haven't used them myself. They're a good alternative. They're shaped differently to spin wings. It's worth giving them a go. The only thing to say is that it's a bit uncommon to see them on Carbon Ones. Normally target shooters who care enough about vanes to go down the path of performance vanes will first invest in competitive-level arrows like A/C/Cs, A/C/Es or X10s.
Thanks for advise. After I get my form up better I might get some Spin wings and compare the two, since IO will have 12 arrows I can try it out with 6 each and see what I like best.
very informative video, thanks mate
Hi @NUSensei,
Thanks for your review. I've got a W&W Black Wolf 62" recurve @60lbs. Any recommended shaft and broadheads for hunting?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers!
I can't really give you specific advice for this one.
so got a new bow coming, which is heavier than the previous bow, I'm guessing i have a few days to find new decent priced arrows before all the ones i have now are broken lol
gawd where do i start :D
What's that Slingshot thingie you show at 6:07 ?
Win & Win Scapower.
Hello Nusensei , I have a wooden handle it is okay if i use a fiberglass arrows ?
There's nothing wrong with that.
+NUSensei thank you I've learned so many things from you
I get the impression that you feel Aluminum arrows are inferior to carbon and carbon composite arrows. in some cases this may be true, but you cannot discount arrows like the Easton X7, X23, and X27. These are the top tier in arrow straightness tolerance and weight/mass tolerance. Even the vaunted X10 cant match them.
Hi. I love your videos. I'm a relative newbie. Samick Polaris, 22lb draw weight. I'm using 28 inch carbon arrows with 1000 spine. I only have three and want to get more arrows. Should I stick with more of the same, or is it OK to have different kinds of arrows in your quiver. Went to a local archery shop and they recommended aluminum. Is it bad for a newbie to have a mix of different arrows? Thank you.
It's best to shoot one kind of arrow. Every arrow has different properties, and that can really affect your accuracy. Additionally, as a beginner, you won't know if problems are caused by you or the arrow. I suggest you go with a full set of one kind of arrow.
Thank you. That's what my gut was telling me, but I wanted to know for sure. Thanks again!
Great video mate, ignore the haters!
bad video boring and lame oh and also stupid not a hater just a know-er
great vid mate
One more point for cheap arrow is they great for hunting as they are expendable and not a huge loss if break or losing
What spine would you recommend for a recurve with a draw weight below 30lbs? Are spine measurements consistent from brand to brand?
Each manufacturer has their own charts and own numbering system. Look up manufacturer's arrow charts to get an idea of which arrows are best suited.
+NUSensei I bought my first bow and got some arrows as well but I wasn't very educated in this stuff so I bought arrows that said "for bows up to 60#" and I have a 35# recurve so I assumed these were right, the spine is 350 and its 31" long and now that I'm a bit more educated in this stuff I'm feeling like these arrows aren't suited but I've already paid and it cost $60 so I don't want to fork out for another set. They're arriving this week but do you think they're good or should i call the store and see if I should swop or get my money back and get another set?
Swap them out. They are too stiff for your bow.
Sinegav yeah im buying a new set and giving these ones to my mate
+NUSensei I checked on the manufacturers charts, as you suggested, and they told me to look at the chart at 3riversarchery.com.
Since I had already downloaded the chart, studied it, and still had questions, I contacted them by email. The first response wasn't much help, so I called them. After discussing the 400 - spine arrows, and the heavier points (125 grain) that I'm currently using, and my results at 10 and 20 yards, the guy on the phone suggested 600 spine if I plan to stick with the bow I have, 500 if I'm planning to move to a 30-35# draw.
The only thing that should need to change is the field point weight when I decide on my next bow...possibly a Samick Journey, or something else I can get my hands on before buying.
what is the difference between alluminium arrow and carbon? and which one do you prefer?
Aluminium bows are heavier. They're somewhat more newbie friendly, but don't do well at longer distances. Carbon is the standard arrow for competitive and many recreational uses.
+NUSensei thanks for the Quick response. so il be going for 8 easton inspire 750 arrows :)
I shoot aluminium Easton 2117 but I'm a hunter like the heavier arrow I feel it hits harder but that's a personal opinion could be wrong
I admired that practice draw device you used in the video. It had a handle and an elastic stretchy plastic rubber band part.
What are they caled and where do you buy them? I'm in the USA
Dan Morris It's a Win&Win Scapower stretching band. I've done a review of it in another video.
What about the dif between 6/7/8mm thick sensei? I'm a newbie
1 or 2 millimeters, I'd say.
What does fletch mean?
I ❤️🏹
Does draw leg nth matter on a recurve bow?
Draw length matters on every bow
what is that thing you pull at 6.06 min?????
Win & Win Scapower Stretching Band.
The cheaper arrows on Wish are actually not very good, unless you got a 60lbs bow and got the muscles to pull and shoot. I bought 60 arrows all different sorts of cheap Wish arrows and initially thought they were OK. But then I got a 6 pack/$80 arrows, and my mind was blown. Now the grouping of arrows are within 8"-10" more or less with an outlier here and there, vs. before with cheap arrows where "yay I hit the wall" was "good" .... Invest in some good arrows, you will not regret.
My main arrows are Easton wood stalker 2219.
how about the wooden arrows?
What about wooden arrows?
What about fiberglass arrows
what bow do you have and how many pounds do you have?
why do companies like hunting door let me order arrows but do not deliver
you have a good experience make a video on Hoyt Quattro
hey man, really enjoying your videos. Need your advice on few issues. is there any chance that i can contact you via email?
I noticed that arrows are being made from bamboo...thoughts?
Hi NUSensei, thank you for your sage advice, I've learned quite a bit from your videos. I decided to try my hands on a recurve and purchased a 62" Samick Polaris - 28lbs(28.5" draw length). Due to budget constraints, I had been using some old carbon arrows (Browning Boss 55/70) which are way over spined, but fine for my old compound bow. I would like to purchase some proper arrows to tighten my shot groups and not develop improper targeting habits compensating with stiff arrows...what do you suggest 900, 1000 spine? Thank you in advance!
can you go more into detail?
can you do a video on vanes and feathers and long vs short or low profile vs high .
th-cam.com/video/-2S0X8jPXR8/w-d-xo.html
oh awesome thx
An item you didn't cover: two, three, or four vanes?
And why?
Three is the norm. Two is highly specialised and requires a very precise tune. Four vanes is viable, but there is a lot of extra drag. Three combines simplicity and performance.
Hello NuSensei , thankyou on your info of various of arrows.I understand arrows like Easton arrow, x10 or protour are v good arrows.they are built in such a way that the Middle shaft are slightly bigger than the front and end.How do we cut these arrows to our draw lenght.Do we cut one end or both ends.? Thankyou for reply and answers.
It's normal just to cut them from the front end.
MC Mah
It depends on where the warp in the shaft is, and they all have them.
NUSensei Normally three vane are best through recurves. Many compound shooters prefer four vane.
do you do any videos on Horse Bows?
No, I only cover target recurve.
Ace shafts are not the lighter ones. There's plenty of full carbon shafts costing 1/2 or 1/3 than Ace and have quite the same gpi
Carbon Victory Vap v6 400 spine is 6.8 gpi= 9 € (nock and instert included)
Easton A/C Pro Field Shaft 420 spine is 7.5 gpi= 25 €
Easton A/C/E Shaft 400 spine is 7.5 gpi= 21€
from www.archeryonline.it/catalogo.asp?scat=5&cat=55&pg=3&q=
Talking about wheight is not a point
I've seen the chart at eastonhunting.com. Actually I'm telling you about the Full metal jacket (didn't find tha navigator and I don't know if they're the same :).
btw this is whats charts say:
spine 500 -> 9.1gpi
spine 400 -> 10.2 gpi.
It's not that light because is meant to be very tough and resistant. Ideal for hunting.
About hunting it's not that great deal to have a very light arrow because it can deliver less kinetic energy.
I hope to be helpful :)
I don't actually know them but it's not so important if it's an hunting or target shaft :). It's important how the arrow flies, if it flies well it's ok even if heavy. Arrow lightness it's good if you want faster shots or flatter trajectory.
I'm not so much into archery at the moment so I don't know v well what advice to you. I personally tended to buy easton powerflight or bloodline because in my country are not so expensive.
easton powerflight shafts are 3.84 euros here :D.
Try checking ome australian ecommerce :)
Can't help but notice you are using Abbey Archery website for referencing arrow prices, where you located, I shoot for AAC club in Perth :D
I'm based in Melbourne.
That's too bad, I want an archery friend xD
I'm sure you can answer this question, Please can you help me :)
I'm shooting a 45# draw weight with 27.5" draw length and instead of buying new arrows I took my Dads PowerFlights which have a spine number of 400 and 8.4 gpi and they have a spine length of 29". I can't find a PowerFlight chart so I don't know if i can shoot these. Please help me :D
p.s. my bow can go to 50# if needed.
I'm not too familiar with PowerFlights. 400 seems to be quite stiff - something that a compound bow would shoot rather than a recurve. If you are shooting a compound bow, you'd be fine with those.
Thank you :P I should have mentioned I shoot compound lol silly me :3
