These wood arrows are made with the competition Longbow/Self bow archer in mind, but are excellent for all traditional archery applications. These arrows have all the charm of our standard arrows with tighter tolerances in both weight and spine. Handmade, hand painted, hand straightened and hand spine tested in the United States of America, from 32 inch premium 55-60 spine cedar shafts.

My maximum arrow weight tolerance for competition grade arrows is 10 grains per matched set. (The lightest arrow and the heaviest arrow will have no more than a 10 grain weight difference). Most arrow sets have a weight spread that is lower than this. Look for the arrow build card in the photos to see the actual weight spread for this set, keeping in mind that the overall arrow weight will change from what is depicted on the card when the arrows are cut to length. Finished arrow weight will also be affected by the point weight that you choose at checkout. The weight provided on the build card is total uncut arrow weight plus 145 grains as a default point weight.

The industry standard for wood arrow spine is a six pound spine range. For example 55-60 spine. For competition grade arrows I will reduce this to three pounds or less for better consistency. For example 55-57 spine. The listing will be marked Light, Medium Light, Medium Heavy or Heavy (55-60L,55-60ML,55-60MH,55-60H). Light sets will be in the bottom three pounds (55-57). Medium Light sets will be in the lower middle three pounds (56-58). Medium Heavy sets will be in the higher middle three pounds (57-59). Heavy sets will be in the top three pounds (58-60). To see the actual spine range for this set, look at the build card in the photos.

My build process includes hand straightening each shaft before and during the painting process, matching components by weight and aligning nocks with the wood grain in order to maximize consistency. I use two tones of wood stain instead of crown dip, allowing the natural wood grain to show through. Multiple coats of clear gloss finish makes each design pop.

Not for use with compound bows.
