Archery 30/32/28 Inch Carbon Practice Hunting Arrows with Removable for Youth Compound & Recurve Bow Target (Pack of 12)

The function fine out of my 35 lb and 45 lb recurve bows.

These arrows are tough as nails! I have a large piece of plywood behind my target, because sometimes I bugger up a shot. Maybe your neighbors are cool, but my neighbors get super cranky if they find my arrows in their house/kids/pets/etc (they make frowny face at me for weeks, and often make surly, unkind remarks). I was afraid the carbon fiber shafts would splinter or shatter if I nailed the ply with them. NOPE! I've piled these into the ply, up to the shaft, and they don't have a crack, split, chip, nor scratch. Being carbon fiber, they are... STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW, HA! And will forever stay that way. I also like the long fletching, as it does a fantastic job of ensuring they fly true (I don't trust short fletching, and neither should you). My recurve bow has one of those abusive, plastic, stick-on arrow rests (Don't judge me!), and the fletching looks perfect after dozens and dozens of shots. The tips are quite pointy, and the set came with extra nocks, even though I haven't had to use any.

Very pleased with these arrows. This is a good deal for what you get.

These arrows were nicely packaged with foam blocks to separate them and keep them from rattling. The arrows are perfectly straight, the vanes are glued on well and evenly spaced. They came complete with field tips that only needed tightening. However, during the pre-use inspection, I noticed that the nocks were not fitted properly. NOT ONE single nock was aligned with the cock vane. This is basic archery 101. The nocks were glued in. I should be able to carefully detach them with a little effort and realign them. I will now have to correct, if I can, an error that should not have been allowed to pass production much less leave the warehouse.. UPDATE 7/5/2018 The nock issue has been resolved. The nocks were too tight to adjust with only finger pressure but a pair of pliers was all that was needed. The arrows shoot very well. They are longer and heavier than the wood arrows I have been using and I suspect they will perform even better with my homebuilt 45# PVC bow.

I've been using these arrows for about 5 months now and have shot each arrow about 500 times. They're more accurate than my aim and have held up well. The vanes look like new and the shafts are straight. I had a problem with the points but it was because I was abusing them: occasionally they would impact a heavy plywood sheet behind hay bales (otherwise they would sometimes go right through the bales and into the woods) and the points would separate from the shaft. I bought a decent archery target and glued the bushings back in with Gorilla Glue epoxy and haven't had any more problems. After 500 shots, the nock cracked on one of the arrows, but the arrows are shipped with about a half a dozen spare nocks so it was easily replaced. I've been impressed with them all-around and I think they're a bargain. Recommended!

You know, for the price I expected a lower quality arrow. Actually, these are really good and I've already bought more. The extra length is perfect for my long draw. No more worries about the arrow dropping off the back. And, they look great too.

All seems well except I do have to tighten the back of the arrow after shooting it because it tends to get loose. I do not have much experience with arrows and that should be easily solved with some thread locker. They are durable and well made. Consistent. Happy. Definitely a great option.

While these were better than the cheap arrows we had, they have problems, the chief one being that the entire tip assembly tended to come out of the head when an arrow would sink into the wood behind our straw bales. Even carefully trying to wiggle it out usually resulted in the entire assembly (not just the screw-in tip) coming out of the shaft. I was able to dig the tips out of the wood with pliers and jam them back into the shafts. We've acquired better arrows since but we keep these for junkers. I contacted the company and they offered a $5 refund and told me I could glue the tips back into the shaft myself. That's not my idea of great customer service but I'll give them the third star for getting back to me at all.
