How to Choose the Best Carbon Arrows for Hunting

There are a few criteria that must be looked when you are selecting a carbon arrow. These criteria make a good carbon arrow. We shed the light on them below.

Spine

The term “Spine” actually refers to the arrow’s stiffness. Carbon arrows are stiffer than the aluminum arrows. It is very important to have the right amount of balance in term of stiffness in a carbon arrow.

Because, if the Spine is too much then it won’t be able to fly as it should. It definitely will not fly straight. If the Spine is too little the result would be the same just may be the opposite direction. So, the right balance of stiffness is very much needed to fly straight and accurate for an arrow.

There are a few techniques to check the stiffness of an arrow. You may try to bend an arrow. If the arrow is stiff, you will find it hard to bend.

On contrary, if the arrows stiffness is too little, it will bend easily. Arrows lack accuracy if they are not sufficiently stiff as I’ve said before. For the worst case scenario, insufficient stiff-arrows can have the power into by the crossbow strings. So, stiffness should be balanced, not too much or not too little.

Weight

Weight is a very important factor to consider while buying carbon arrows. The weight of an arrow also refers to grains. It depends on your purpose of using an arrow for.

If your purpose is target practicing, then you should select lighter arrows. The reason for buying lighter arrows is that the lighter arrows are more likely to travel straight through the air. So, it would be easier to shoot in tight groups.

On the other hand, if your purpose is hunting, then you should select heavier arrows. Because for hunting the arrows should be able to penetrate the target. For that arrows will need more penetration power.

Lighter arrows cannot deliver such penetration power to penetrate a live target that a heavier arrow can.

Experts say that whatever the purpose is, either hunting or target practice, the weight in between 200 to 500 grains is better for both purposes.

Straightness

Straightness of an arrow basically refers to the straightness tolerance of an arrow. The smaller the straightness measurement is the better. Straighter arrows are more expensive than the other arrows.

Moreover, the straightness is measured in inches. Usually, straightness ranges from 0.001 inches to 0.006 inches.

The manufacturers measure their arrow’s straightness right after the production. Some of them categorize the arrows on the basis of straightness.

Straightness of 0.001 to 0.003 are premium arrows, 0.003 to 0.004 are mid-ranges of arrows and 0.005 to 0.006 are standard arrows.

The frequency of the arrow during the flight is very important. Straight arrows usually deliver consistent frequency that results in very good shooting impact. If the arrows bent, the frequency changes and that flaws the impact.

Price

Price is an important factor. There are a variety of carbon arrows available in the market priced differently. They can cost between $40 to $100.

Minimum $40 and a maximum $100. So, first make up your mind about the amount you want to spend on a set of the arrow. Then search for the arrow within your budget and we described what is to look for in carbon arrows.
