Pointes pour Fûts Bois

A point for wooden shaft will serve to protect the arrow upon target impact and help it stabilize during flight.
The mass will ensure optimal release as well as better penetration.

How to choose points for wooden shafts?

Points for wooden shafts can be directly screwed or glued onto the shaft. They are sold individually or in sets.
The choice should be made based on different criteria: point weight, shaft diameter, and also point shape.

The point weight

In archery, weight is expressed in grains, one gram being equivalent to 15.43 grains.

The most common weights are 100 and 125 grains, there are also heavier points, particularly suited for higher draw weights (145 grains).

The shaft diameter 

The point must be perfectly adapted to your shaft diameter. Like weights, different diameters are possible, although the 2 most common are 5/16 and 11/32.

The point shape

Target penetration can vary depending on the point used, just like arrow flight which also depends on air resistance.

- ogival or conical point: elongated with a tapered end, air resistance is low, target penetration as well as their wear is excellent.

- bullet point: short and rounded, as its name suggests, it has the shape of a bullet. Solid, it's perfect for beginners for example.

- field point: similar to the ogival point but with a more pronounced base, it is the most common point in competition due to its excellent penetration and ease of extraction

How to install a point on a wooden arrow?

Points can be attached to the shaft using hot melt adhesive or specific liquid glue.
If you want to remove the points later, it's better to use hot melt.

Threaded points can provide better adhesion: glued and screwed, your points won't come off anytime soon!
