SHARROW 32 Inch Archery Traditional Wooden Arrow Hunting Arrow Pracrice Target Wooden Arrow Shaft with 5" Turkey Feather Fletching and Field Point for Longbow Traditaonal Bow

Went to an SCA event with them and got a lot of compliments on them!What really made me happy about this purchase was how well they hold up. My tired arms were missing shots and hitting things that could have broken them, but they remain unscathed!

I needed wooden arrows with feather fletching for scoring practices and tournaments in the SCA. I found these to be well-made....I went over the whole dozen when they arrived and found none had to be straightened. The anchor threads are well placed and glued. The tips are glued nicely and the self-nocks neither too wide or too narrow. They fly true and are sturdy. I plan to buy another couple dozen. Very good product for a decent price.

These arrows are perfect for beginners and professionals. High quality design with precision handcrafted materials. My family and I have had a tremendous accuracy improvement due to how true these arrows fly. Definitely going to buy again and again. They come with the flights long so you can customize finger placement with a trim. We used a sharpie marker to mark the outside flight to make it easier to load the arrows correctly. Excellence all around from us!

The package arrived on time as promised, so good on the sellers for that. The packing was certainly adequate for the job, too.The arrows seemed nice at first, but upon closer inspection, I found some significant issues:- Four out of the 12 had significant bends in them.- One was 3/4" longer than the others.- The bindings on the fletching tended to bend the feathers in odd directions.- The finish was very poor, with solidified drips and runs.The long arrow is a lost cause. I have no way to shorten it without making it shorter than the others. The bends I can take out. The finish flaws can be sanded out, and that should make them smoother. The fletching bindings I cut off the wrapping, and glued the bitter ends in place. I used a warm iron to reform the feathers so they were more in-line and maintained the consistency of their curl.I should get about 8 serviceable arrows out of the lot, which is a bit expensive per arrow overall given the price. I normally make my own, but I was in a hurry and prioritized speed over quality.If one is trying to "target practice", consistency between arrows in flight characteristics is key. These were not consistent without a lot of work to make them so. If you're willing to put in the time and effort to fix the flaws, it could be worth it to you. I'd be hard pressed to recommend them to anyone SERIOUS about archery. But for plinkers who don't really care about accuracy and are just getting used to the motions, they may be beneficial.I have an archery tournament on Saturday and Sunday I plan on using these in. They're in somewhat better shape than my current arrows, so I expect good performance. That will be because I put in the time and effort to make them consistent and fly the same. Not because they came that way in the box.It's your call. They're good as a base if you don't mind the work to make them much better.
