31Inch Carbon Hunting Targeting Practice Arrows Turkey Feather Arrows (6 Pack)

About 3 weeks ago, my favorite arrows from walmart were discontinued, so I ordered 3 dozen of these arrows to both hunt and target practice with my 60lbs draw weight medieval style longbow (made by Grayvn Traditional archery). To go with the arrows, I bought 3 different types of medieval style screw in arrow heads (12 of each type) and 3 different color nocks (again, 12 of each color). The idea was to fill my quiver to the brim with arrows, all color coded according to what tip they had. Small game tips had green nocks, medium sized tips had yellow nocks, and large game broadheads had red nocks. Once everything came in, I immediately got to work putting my plan into action and assembling the arrows one by one how I envisioned. About 3 hours later, I had finished all of the arrows, cleaned up my mess and put all of the arrows into my grandfather's leather quiver he gave me years ago. Seeing my plan work out perfectly and finally having a real quiver full of arrows was a very pleasing sight. I was very happy to now own an even 36 of some rather pretty arrows. I knew they were pretty looking, but I also wanted to make sure that their performance was good as well. So I strung up my longbow and went outside to shoot them for the first time. I decided that to see how well they performed in terms of accuracy and consistency, I was going to set up my target at about 30 feet (10 yards) and shoot one from each of the 3 tip types (which had weights of 125 grain, 150 grain, and 200 grain) and try to group them as tightly as possible. First shot, not bad, a little off from the center but I'll just keep to the plan of keeping as tight of a grouping as possible. Second shot, I thought, hey that's pretty good. It only landed an inch away from the first arrow. That third shot, however, made me feel a mix of joy and annoyance that I don't think I've ever felt in my life and is the reason I just bought more. The third shot "Robin Hooded" (split an arrow with another arrow) the first arrow. It split the red nock I specifically bought for it straight down the middle and split the arrow shaft all the way down to the binding on the fletchings. While that wasn't my intention, I'd say it's pretty good considering my intention was to get as tight of a grouping as possible, and that it goes without saying these arrows fly pretty consistently. (Also factor in the fact that my bow is literally a stick compared to some of the more fancy recurves and compound bows out there today, and I can imagine that a skilled shooter with a quality bow would have problems with splitting arrows often) I only have 2 complaints about these arrows: 1.) The nocks they come with from the factory seem very cheap, and I would recommend replacing them with higher quality nocks. 2.)The factory nocks are fixed in with glue, which made removal of some of the nocks difficult. Most of them would just pop loose with a little bending, but a few had to be cut and then drilled out. Other than those two things, I have no complaints. Overall, these arrows were a good purchase in my opinion. They have flown accurately and consistently all the times I have shot with them since then, and I would definetely recommend them to anyone who practices archery (especially if you shoot with a traditional style bow like I do).

While the price was higher than the Kramer Ammons set, I'm still quite pleased. The feathers are stiff, arrived in good shape, but not so stiff as to cause problems with shooting. They're working well for me, shooting straight off of the shelf, no arrow rest. The tips are removable, threaded, sharp pointed field tips. The knocks are transparent green, they grip the bow string well, and I've not had any loose nocks, but they are just tight enough to allow adjustment. I haven't had a chance to weigh them yet, but I will update this review soon. I have also used these arrows with a flipper rest, and they work very well. The shafts are nice looking, no brand names, and they're very smooth to the touch, the wraps are tight and no visible seams. The yellow feathers are visible in yellow target backgrounds. They pull out of targets with reasonable effort, and I've not noticed any loose inserts. I will be adding a drop of Lock-tite to the threads. The points do loosen a bit. I'm already considering another set. Update: August 2024 I bought my third set in 2022. These arrows are a little heavy with draw weight 30# or less, but they're Great from 35# to 45#, only with my recurve bows. Other than turning the nocks to the best spine, or straightest arrow flight with your favorite bow, But I rarely even bother, they're just fine, as is. These are perfect for rough, knock around shooting, heavy so they penetrate well. Broadheads mount right up, and they'd hunt if you're confident enough with your groups. Watch the weight of your broadheads, as changes in weight can cause changes in arrow flight. The camo finish makes them a little hard to find in common types of grass, sometimes it's easier to find them with a flashlight after dark. They work best for me with foam filled bag targets, often I see field points out the back. For broadheads, I prefer paper targets on straw bales with 3" or so of Foam insulation board for a backing. No pulling problems when you use Gorilla 2-part epoxy on the tip inserts. I use plain water, and then a liquid car wax to clean the shafts, rub it on, let it dry, and buff up a shine, but I've seen others use furniture polish. I've picked them out of the mud after several days, and they still clean up well. I've broken a few, but stacking arrows on a target is my fault. Groups of 3 or 4 on a multiple target pattern bag works best for me. Hope you all have fun! Keep Shooting!

Pros: - Not too expensive - Durable - Good arrow flight - Efficiently packaged - Great customer service Cons: - The glue on the arrow tips was either not good or there wasn't enough because I had several tips coming off. I contacted the seller and they made it right so A+ there. Also, the issue wasn't too bad, just had to get some inexpensive glue (Bohning 1308 Ferry-L-Tite Cool Flex) and re-affix the tips, bing bang boom. - I did have one arrow where the fletching string came loose. I think the feathers are kept on by their own glue so the string might be just in case, but it still wasn't ideal. I am not taking off any stars for this because I may have actually hit the string with another arrow, it's impossible for me to know. Overall 4.25 stars. Would recommend.

I have been using those arrows for a couple of months with recurve bows. They are excellent in terms of accuracy, durability, and camouflage. The arrows work better with higher poundage (24 lb and up). The price is incredible. To get arrows of the same specs, you may need to pay double the price.

These arrows are a great option for someone looking at getting into archery. They're cheap so if you loose some (like I did) if you get flyers, it's not the end of the world. They're inexpensive so they aren't perfect, some aren't completely true, on one the knock broke off and the tips deform. That being said as a practice arrows and something to get you flinging arrows they're good. Even though I only gave them 3 stars I'd recommend them as well as buy them again

I can't really give it higher than a 4 star being that I'm still rather new at archery but these arrows are nice, all of them are in good shape and fly true. I will recommend these to friends and will buy from them again

Used with a 35# recurve bow. Arrows seem well made. The only thing holding it from a 5th star was the field points. Very rough and ground non concentric.

Like many others, lost some inserts as they were not glued in. Would change my review to 5 stars if I could contact the seller to get some replacement inserts
