Bachflock Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'm going to dust off the old bow and start killing some paper this year. I'm looking for your old arrows for target practice. Nothing special - preferably straight. Tips not necessary - I'll be putting practice tips on them anyway. I'm also going to get my kids into shooting. I've got an old Bear Blacktail hunter and I was blessed enough to get a deal on a used youth Lil Sioux recurve and unknown brand youth compound for the kids. Regardless, if you've got any old arrows laying around you want to part with, please send me a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Just make sure you match the arrow with the bow, spline. Bad things can happen if the arrow is under-spline! Get a dozen of Cabela's brand arrows to get started and to use for target shooting. This is what I started out using until I got better at shooting my bow. Then worry about getting a good hunting arrow. $45 per dozen and you can have the right arrow for your bow! http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/horizontal-pod.jsp?id=0045288&navCount=1&parentId=cat20061&masterpathid=&navAction=push&cmCat=searchFeat-cat20061_TGP&parentType=index&indexId=cat20061&rid= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'd be real careful about getting just any old arrows to shoot too. The spine and the arrow-length have to match your set-up, otherwise, your going to have real problems, maybe even some injuries. All of the arrows need to be the same, and they also need to be the proper spine, and length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachflock Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Good points (pun intended)... thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Try putting an ad over at archerytalk.com in the classifieds. Tons of archers over there, literally thousands upon thousands. Put an ad in the WTB section on there with what your specs are and you will get some feedback. That site is just like this one, hunters helping hunters. Buckee and John are right though, get the proper arrows for safety reasons. Good luck and glad to see you get the dust off the bow and back shooting. Might be worth while to visit a pro shop and have them give your bows a look over for safety as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
