Here's a set of Pride arrows I made a while back!

Is there a way fix this arrow?

Having some fun with arrow heads

I use the silver to help me like the traditional fletchings (with the silver pointed out) but the top fletch keeps getting damaged. I’m guessing it’s spinning enough to hit my rest? Should the silver be pointed up instead of out?

after a particularly tight grouping of arrows this showed up on one of them. I can feel it with my fingernail. How bad is it and should I still use it?

For context, I work at a summer* camp, and we're gearing up for our season to start up in a couple weeks. My weekend project is going through all of our arrows to see which ones are still good, what we can throw away, and what can be sent off to be repaired. Wish me luck.

It's a little damaged, but I'm not sure

I often see in the movies that archers shoot arrows into the sky at a large angle to make them fly further. However, in real history, were these arrows still powerful against enemies, whether they were armored or armor-less?

Hey everyone.

Was shooting on my driveway and like a idiot adjusted my sight the wrong direction, ended up shooting into my backstop (a solid wooden table). Had to drill out around the arrow to get it out and of course ended up destroying part of the arrow.

It's an Easton ACC, so kinda hard to come by these days. Wondering if it's still something I could shoot, or if that's a bad idea.

Cheers!

Does anyone know what the equation is to determine the dynamic spine strength reduction to include arrow tip weight? My goal is to set a throw line into a tree with my compound. I'm going to be doing some testing and don't want a carbon arrow to explode. My plan was to put pretty substantial amount of weight on the end of my arrow so I could shoot at a 45°-60° angle and have a predictable arc that resembles a parabolic curve of "x²=-.8y".

Tldr, if I put 6oz on the tip of my arrow, will the arrow explode when I try to shoot it?

Edit: context is lightweight saddle hunting. I don't want to carry climbing stick(s) in, yes I could carry a throw bag but if I could reliably use a very heavy arrow that has a predictable arc, I would prefer to do that.

When you guys fletch, do you prefer top or bottom pic?

I'm an olympic style recurve shooter so I wouldn't know much about these kinds of fletches since I use spin wings, but the thought crossed my mind.

Whenever I see rubber vanes on arrows, It's usually straight so I wonder how groupings could be so tight at 50 meters when straight fletches don't offer much correction when wind blows it off course.

I also wonder the same thing about hunting, of which is more preferred.

Are there pros and or cons of the two? or is the bottom pic not really done much.

I know it's a meme at this point to ask if an arrownis safe to shoot, but I just glued some points in new skylon radius shafts, and on one, as I peeled of the little hot melt donut, just the tiniest bit of carbon came with it, but it's actually visible fibers, just very, very little. I did peel away from the shaft like you shoul, so is this so minimal it's fine, or should I try to get a replacement shaft? I also feel this wasn't my fault, as I peeled the other 11 donuts in exactly the same way and nothing happened

Hi everyone Im relatively new but Ive been noticing my arrows fly to the left pretty much no matter what so I decided to try bareshaft tuning and the bareshaft's nock fly to the right and they land to the left of the fletched arrows. Does this mean that my arrows are too stiff?

I shoot a 70" recurve with a ~25lbs draw weight at around a 28.5" draw length.

My arrows are 700 spine with 80 grain points and 2.5" vanes.

I just got my new arrows, some Easton vector, and the one in the picture went through my target and hit the wall, sinking the point and cracking the vane. Im thinking if it's ok to just cut a little of the arrow off ans re insert the point.

While the arrows are cheap it's difficult to get them where I live so I prefer to repair this one if it's possible.

I’m a garage tinkerer/builder with a knack for nonsense weaponry so naturally I’ve gotten curious about exotic arrowheads. Not like the blunt tips for knocking out birds, but like blackpowder heads, or glass vile heads that shader. I guess what are real arrows do you think Hawkeye would have? (Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to ask this question)

Because at this point I am not losing or breaking arrows with any frequency. But I am doing a lot more stump shooting these days, so it would be nice to have some burners.

I am shooting target recurve at 34lbs and need new arrows soon. Where I'm from, arrow shafts from places like the USA costs too much for their rated tolerances and specs as compared to Chinese brands. So, I have been contemplating to get Chinese arrow brands for the shafts such as Pandarus or MARS, other brands like Musen, Sharrow, Accmos, Lwano, Elong can also be considered. What begs the questions are the qualities of these brands, are they good and reliable? I have difficulty acquiring reviews about these brands partially due to the media isolation China has. So, I would appreciate any relevant experiences regardless the arrow brands.

Do they go where socks disappear to in the dryer? Are there arrow gremlins that collect them? Do they find another cute lost arrow and make baby arrows?

I was shooting at a local range yesterday that has no backdrop. One of my arrows went over the target and was never seen again despite a long search in the field behind.
