Where to buy arrows

In order to make archery an even more exciting experience you can design your arrows individually with our accessories. By using various wraps, nocks, fletchings, vanes and feathers you can give your arrows a one of kind design.

The suitable tools for arrow making you can of course also find in our store. With our arrow cases for storage and transport, you will be well-prepared for the next tournament. The paper test helps you analyze the arrow flight and to make corrections to your technique, to the setup of your bow and to the arrows used. We would like to explain to you what the paper test is about in detail. As the name suggests, a piece of paper is the central element of the process.

The sheet of paper, measuring approx. Now you shoot through the stretched paper from a distance of about 2 meters. Please make sure that the penetrating arrow is stopped safely. It is best to position a target behind your paper test setup. After the arrow penetrated the paper, it will leave a unique shot pattern, which can be seen as tears in the paper. In the following we will show you typical shot patterns and suitable solutions to achieve an optimal arrow flight.

The bare shaft test, also known to some as the raw shaft test, is the only effective way to optimally match your bow to the used arrows, so you can achieve an almost perfect hit.

The goal is to find both the correct position of the nocking point and the optimal adjustment of its components. When doing a bare shaft test, the shot pattern of fletched arrows is compared to unfletched ones, which are otherwise identical. First, a certain number of arrows with fletchings are shot at the target. Then the same procedure is performed with the unfletched counterparts. Kinetic energy is transferred to the tip of the arrow via the nock as the string snaps back to its initial state.

The amount of energy exerted is immense for the arrow to react instantaneously, and different parts of the arrow gain momentum at different velocities. As a result, the nock of the arrow, first to receive this energy moves faster than the tip of the arrow. As the arrow cannot leave the bow instantly, it absorbs a small amount of that energy by bending, before the arrow leads to the target.

Different parts of an Arrow Tip - Enables the arrow to penetrate the target without damaging the tube. More the distance of an arrow from the bow, the more it will fly in a straight line motion as the energy expended on bending decreases. In addition, they further ensure every dozen shafts are within 0.

Use your ears! How much point or shaft should be ahead of the plunger at full draw for recurve? For a variety of reasons outside the scope of this article, the answer is that at least two centimeters of shaft not including point should be past the plunger center at full draw.

More is OK within reasonable limits, but less should be avoided when practical. Tab sizes are generally similar to dress glove sizes. If one uses a small glove, generally a small tab will do the job. What leather thickness should a tab be, or how many layers should an archer use? This is an individual issue for most, but as a general guide, comfort is important and the tab layers should be thick enough to prevent finger pain.

Sometimes, it is possible to get more comfort with fewer layers- for instance, two layers of Cordovan feels about the same as one layer of Cordovan, one layer of thin rubber, and one layer of suede.

However, the two Cordovan layers are thinner overall, last longer, and often behave better in wet weather than a solution incorporating suede backing.

Some top shooters never trim their tabs at all, while some others cut it to the bare minimum. You can determine the minimum cut length for your broken-in tab by heavily dusting it with talc baby powder , shooting a few shots, and looking to see where the talc has been scraped off by the string.

Usually, a point about mm past this ridge of powder represents unused leather which can be trimmed. However, one should avoid the use of a too-thick spacer, or one that causes pain. Spacers should be modified as needed to eliminate pain, or even discarded in cases where they cause problems.

One reason is that it has become quite stylish to imitate the grips of top shooters. Changing grips is for some a fun activity and it usually has immediate effects good or bad!

So, it has become quite popular to adjust the grip.
