Arrows.

shock

I was wondering what type of arrows are the most popular. Carbon, Aluminium or wooden.

Personally I use Aluminium arrows as do most people in my club.

It really depends on your use to be honest...

Carbon's are better for somethings and not so good for others.

I like that fact that carbons don't develop bends like aluminiums. I shoot both though I'm quite fond of my new ACCs(a Aluminium Carbon Composite).

Wooden arrows are more for toy bows-that or plastic-or for traditional archery-long bow, mongolian recurve etc etc.

Ya left out Glass Fiber Arrows. Tut tut...

People either start off with Aluminiums or cheap carbons. I HATE cheap carbons though and don't let people use them-if I can manage it. They do some terrible damage to targets. It's not fun to see...

I prefer Aluminium Arrows. Can't get them anywhere but I can't get them anywhere but I must try that website I was given.

halenger,
I'd put up glass fibre if i could(or if i'd remembered) just to see if anyone actually uses them for serious shooting and not just to train kids. If there is anyone who actually prefares to use glass fibre and doesnt just use em because they have to or because they're cheap tell me.

Those silly trooper things!!!

Why would anyone use them? Shame on DCU sports complex for buying them. They ruin targets and the fletches fell off half of them.

*This just in, we will be using them to train newbies*

Awwww, hell.

Well we're not gona waste our good arrows on people who'll probably never show up again and will hit the wall.

Hmmmm

How do u kno people won't come back? Alex u were newbie once and u came back. I'm sure they tried to keep u away of course :-p

I dunno i think we shud use the @Newbie@ arrows for the first week or so and then if people are really seriously into it which i think we can see after while ( ie Simon) then we can move them onto @Cool@ arrows.

U guys destroy ALOT of arrows too :-p

And podge see i did post on archery website hehehe

And sean that picture is horrible remove it....:-p ( u kno what i mean )

shock

One: out of all the newbies who were there the first day I was hardly any still come to archery and even fewer(myself and Roscoe) have really gotten into it(ie have our own bows etc.).

Two: We may destroy arrows too but most of the time there our own.

And three: I wont remove the photo because its not as bad as the one of me, you know which one.

one word sean......

Speaking from an Olympic point of view, one would use large diameter aluminiums for indoor shooting, given their quick time to straighten out after release, and their line cutting abilities. In general people use small diameter alu-carbon arrows outdoors, thanks to their increased range and lower wind drag etc..

It really depends on what kind of shooting you do... I use 2214 X7s indoors, and 470 ACEs outdoors...

Wooden - hard to beat handcrafting your own arrows (if you're into that sort of thing

)
