Archery shafts

The archery arrow is essential equipment to practice archery. It can be used as ammunition, the latter and its components must be as well adapted to your bow as it is to your practice. The shaft is the central and the rectilinear part of an arrow.

The shaft influences the regularity of an archer's shots during archery practice. For example, a shaft that is too short may pose security risks when used. A shaft that is too long, on the other hand, can decrease accuracy and fall too quickly. The shaft stiffness, weight, balance, and behavior in response to mechanical stress can also affect shooting.

The different types of archery arrow shafts

There are different types of archery arrow shafts depending on their material. You can choose between:

The wooden shaft

It is made of natural woods such as common spruce, sitka spruce, pine, and cedar. The wooden shaft features traditional aesthetics, and has many customizing possibilities, doesn't emit noise when flying, and provides great rigidity. It is recommended for traditional bows.

The aluminum shaft

It is a variant essentially composed of an aluminum alloy. It offers a wide choice of spines and is characterized by its strength and regularity. It can also fit with a wide range of adaptable blades as well as variable components. The aluminum shaft can be used on all types of bows, both traditional bows, and compound bows.

The carbon shaft

It is the most recommended shaft by archery enthusiasts. It has a good solidity as well as a great regularity during the practice. It is also versatile and fits with several types of components. The carbon shaft is also appreciated for its various types. Adapted to all types of activities and all types of bows (traditional, compound, and recurve), it can be used in competition and for hunting small and large game.

How to choose your arrow shaft?

The arrow shaft is essential for usability during archery sessions. When you choose your arrow shaft, you should take into account various aesthetic and technical parameters (spine, weight, length, material, diameter).

Measuring your draw length

The draw length is the distance between the button and the notch of an arrow. You can measure it by arming your bow with an arrow that is long enough at full draw length. A second person should help you to mark the arrow at least one inch in front of where it joins the arrow rest.

Determining the draw weight of your bow

To determine the draw weight of a bow, you will generally need to use a bow scale when you draw it. Then, simply use the manufacturer's chart to choose the model adapted to your needs. This is especially useful for recurve or classical bows. For compound bows, you need to use certain configurations such as using a release, choosing a suitable head weight, and adopting a bow with a minimum brace height of 6.5 inches.

Choosing your arrow shaft

You can opt for a carbon shaft for classic bows during your outdoor shooting sessions. On the other hand, using an aluminum shaft is more recommended for indoor shooting. For compound bows, the ideal is to opt for a carbon shaft while the wooden shaft is more suitable for long bows. You can use wooden or aluminum shaft for recurve bows.
