Shaft

The shaft is the central component of the arrow – the long, load-bearing element between the tip and the nock. It largely determines:

  • Weight
  • Stability
  • Spine (flexibility/bending behavior)
  • Flight characteristics

Materials:

  • Wood
  • Aluminum
  • Carbon
  • Hybrid (Aluminum/Carbon)

The choice of shaft must match:

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