Arrow Selection - How to Choose the Right One

What is the right arrow for you to use with your bow? This video addresses that question and goes into detail to help you understand why you should choose one type of arrow spine over another. Also, when trying to figure out the overall weight of your arrow for trying to create as much speed as possible for target archery, multiply 5 grains per pound of draw weight. Example 70 pound pull x 5 grains = 350 grain arrow. For hunting, people generally multiple between 7 and 8 grains per pound - so at 70 pounds x 7.5 grains = 525 grain arrow. Some people will go heavier than this, and some lighter. I personally think 450 grains is plenty, and have even hunted with 350 grains with great success because of my broadhead combination with the arrows.

@seansoutdoors 6 лет назад

Great. Enjoy it ... God bless you.

@thiscorrosion900 6 лет назад

Recurve can be very different. I shot recurve Hoyt Olympic Style exclusively for years, and my initial provided set of aluminums that I mainly used in the 80s to 1990s were super slim, bullet target point only arrows with real (poly) shorter feather fletchings. They were really, really slim, but again, this was for some reason the standard for Olympic Recurve at that time, and for youth shooters. Looks like the new compounds are a whole other thing. Especially hunting vs. target shooting, of course. I don't recall if my arrows were Easton or what, they were so slim you couldn't even see markings on them, I do recall that, so maybe not. I also used the same arrows for outdoor and indoor shoots, although later I was mainly only shooting indoor, so I never switched sets of arrows by then.

@thein-tele-gent5654 4 года назад

So very thorough going through so much vital information, Sean! A final unasked for tidbit for new target archers, if you are shooting outdoors with any potential for wind, a larger diameter lightweight arrow will see a greater effect from the wind. But for indoors, obviously, you are spot on. Thanks so much for another awesome video!

@edgrasley4149 2 года назад

Hi Sean, great information that you share. I love it. I used to experiment with fletching materials and insert concepts. Never went to market with any of them. One thing I can suggest to you in explaining the friction aspects of a wider, thicker arrow, no matter whether it's carbon or aluminum. A wider arrow has more total surface area than a more narrow arrow. More total surface area provides more area of friction in measurable units to occur as the arrow passes through a target, foam or flesh. Keep up the good work! God Bless.
