Title : Detailed Review : I bought ten arrows for my 11 year old son to use in his 25# compound bow. He has used them now for a couple of weeks at the club and he has found them to be reasonably accurate. The shafts are strong and seem to be an arrow that will last. The only problem we have found is that the points are about 0.5mm larger than the shaft which causes some difficulty when removing the arrow from the target. But I would probably buy some more of these arrows and maybe try to replace the points with a different type down the trak.
Hi, I'm interested in trying out archery but I don't have a lot of money. I'm getting the "Martin XR Recurve Bow Kit" because I can get it under $60.
I am looking for extra arrows and with arrows being different sizes I'm confused as to what I'll need. The bow will be 46", could you please advise on what length arrows I should get?
The length of the arrow depends on your size. A 46" bow is for a 10 year old so 26" will be fine for someone generally upto 12. Average Male is 29"
Is it possible to purchase these arrows without a point so that I can attach blunts?
As I am in Canberra can they be collected or do they have to be mailed?
Many thanks,
Susannah
Sorry the points are glued in at the factory. Sorry I don't have pickups.
Hi!
I'm a beginner and a little confused about sizing. My coach has told me to get 1516 arrows (complete) at 650mm long (we can cut to length however if necessary). I don't understand the sizing system here. Do these arrows cover what I am looking for?
Cheers, Pip
1516 are light arrows. I sell 1516 shafts they are alluminum but you will need to make them. Fibreglass arrows are really for schools and begineers They don't shoot very well but are tough.
