Choose your arrows

Help to select your wooden arrows:

 Choosing the right wooden/traditional arrow is essential for traditional archery, this site will help you with that!

Why it is important to choose the right traditional wooden arrows: safety, accuracy, efficiency!

 Safety:

 - Extremely low spine arrows can break when shoot, which can cause serious injures!

 - When the arrow is too short is easy to draw over, so we can shoot our own hands!

Accuracy:

 - If the spine is too low, the arrow will deviate sideways bypassing the bow

 - If the spine is too high, the arrow will deviate toward the bow

Efficiency:

 - The excessive arrow length is unnecessary weight, this will cause shorter shooting distance
