Arrows for Bows

Choosing the right arrows for a bow is just as important as the bow itself. Properly selected arrows affect accuracy, safety, and the overall shooting experience. If you are not sure how to choose arrows for a bow, in this overview you will find basic categories and practical tips.

Arrows by Material

Carbon Arrows

The most popular choice for modern shooting. They are lightweight, durable, and suitable for both beginners and advanced users. They can withstand the most and are designed for the most powerful compound bows without performance limitations. Professionals then only deal with the so-called SPINE = arrow stiffness. 

Dural (Aluminium) Arrows

Precise and consistent arrows, often used for target shooting. Less resistant to bending than carbon. Recommended for a maximum bow strength between 45 - 55 pounds.

Wooden Arrows

A traditional choice suitable for recurve bows with a draw weight up to 40 pounds and for recreational shooting. They require more care and inspection.

Fiberglass Arrows

A basic and affordable option, extremely durable and ideal for children, beginners, or occasional use with bows of the lowest draw weight up to 25 - 30 lbs. They can also withstand rough handling!

How to Choose Arrows for a Bow?

When choosing arrows, focus on several key factors:

• By bow type
  Recurve bows work well with both carbon and wooden arrows, while arrows for compound bows should most often be carbon due to higher durability.
• By arrow length
  The arrow should be slightly longer than your draw length to ensure safe and comfortable shooting. There is also one rule:

Basic and safe rule:

arrow length = your draw length + approx. 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) 

• Measure your draw length + add a small margin =  the result is the ideal arrow length. 

Example: draw length 28" = arrow 29"-30". 

• By purpose
  Durable arrows are suitable for training, while precise shooting requires consistent and well-made models with an accurate spine value. 

Choosing the right arrows will help improve both performance and safety. Choose quality arrows for your bow according to your shooting style and take your skills to the next level.
