Arrow

An arrow is the projectile in archery, transferring the energy stored in the bow to the target. It consists of several components that together determine stability, precision, and flight behavior.

Main components:

  • Shaft (wood, aluminum, carbon, or hybrid)
  • Tip/Point
  • Nock
  • Fletching (natural feathers or vanes)

Significance:
The arrow must be tuned to match:

  • Draw weight
  • Draw length
  • Bow type
  • Intended use (Target, 3D, Field)
