Custom Arrows

What do I get with customized arrows?

We provide custom work so you can have quality arrows the way you want. Here is what you get:

• Arrow shafts that are spine tested
• Shafts are cut to length and squared. Arrow length is measured from the end of the nock to the end of the shaft (including insert).
• Inserts installed
• Inserts squared
• Total finished arrow weight ( +/- shaft specs)

What is spine testing?

The spine of an arrow is important because of a phenomenon called Archer's Paradox. Archer's Paradox is essentially the process by which an arrow shaft bends around the bow and shoots straight. Note the word bend. The force of the bow string on the arrow causes the arrow to bend during the process of accelerating the arrow off the bow. The amount of bend affects the flight of the arrow and the accuracy and consistency of the shot.

Spine is basically a measure of the stiffness of an arrow shaft. More accurately, it is a measure of the deflection a shaft exhibits when a two pound weight is suspended from the middle of the shaft when the shaft is supported at two points 26 inches apart and the shaft is rotated. By placing the cock vane on the high spine side of each shaft, each shaft should flex or bend, the same way each shot. Which produces a much more accurate arrow.

How do I purchase custom arrows?

You can find arrows that we customize in the Arrow Shafts category. Each arrow that can be customized will have the "Customize Arrow" option as shown in the illustration below:
