Precision Hunter Fiberglass Arrow with Neon Vanes
Construction and Practical Use
The arrow is fitted with a rounded metal bullet tip, which is gentle on your target butt and ensures safer handling. The 6.9mm diameter shaft is stiff enough to handle bows with a draw weight of up to 40 lbs. The 3" (approx. 7.6cm) vanes are made of flexible plastic, guaranteeing arrow stability even in breezy conditions. The plastic nock fits securely onto the string, ensuring a safe release without the risk of slipping.
This type of arrow is perfectly suited for longbows and recurve bows. If you are new to archery, you will especially appreciate that fiberglass does not react to humidity and remains perfectly straight at all times.

Historical Context: From Reed to Fiberglass
While today we take advantage of modern technologies like fiberglass, our ancestors had to rely on purely natural materials. Historically, arrow shafts were most commonly made from pine, ash, or cedar, and in Asia, very often from bamboo. Interestingly, a longbowman in medieval England was required to carry a set of 24 arrows, known as a "sheaf". The quality of the arrow was often more important than the quality of the bow itself – a poorly balanced or crooked arrow could never hit the mark, regardless of the archer's skill. Modern materials now allow us to achieve a level of uniformity that historical archers could only dream of.
Maintenance and Safety Guidelines
To ensure your arrows last as long as possible, please follow these principles:
- Shoot only into suitable targets: Hitting hard surfaces (walls, trees, stones) can cause the fiberglass shaft to shatter or the tip to deform.
- Pre-shot inspection: Visually check the arrow before every shot. If you find any cracks or "splintering" of the fiberglass, discard the arrow – it could break during release and cause injury to your hand.
- Storage: Store arrows in a dry place, preferably in a quiver or rack, to prevent permanent bending of the vanes. If the vanes do become wrinkled, briefly warming them with a hairdryer or holding them over steam will help them return to their original shape.
- Safety: Never shoot straight up into the air and never aim at people or animals. Even with a rounded tip, the arrow possesses significant kinetic energy.
We recommend purchasing a quality straw or foam target butt and an arm guard to protect yourself from string slap along with this arrow.
