ARROW SELECTION
BY ROB PATTON
W
hether you are hunting game animals, or at the shoot-off
in the World Archery Festival in Las Vegas, you need to
be sure you've got the right tools for the job. Today, we
are talking about arrows. The quality and selection of arrows on
the market today is far better than it has ever been. There is an
arrow available for every application and, thankfully, an arrow
for every pocket book. So, what should your next arrow be? The
biggest question that I have for you is "what are you going to be
using it for?"
Before we dive into the practical uses of arrows, let's find out
exactly what separates all the arrows that your local (North 40)
archery shop has on the wall - other than their label. First we need
to cover some terminology. The most important specifications
that should determine what arrow is going to be best for you
are Arrow Spine, Straightness Tolerance, Grains per Inch (mass
weight), and Front of Center.
