Bow & Crossbow Arrows

What to consider when using arrows

Archery is a fascinating hobby if you pay attention to the safety of everyone involved. Safety comes first before and after archery. No one should be between the archer and the target. Arrows, especially those with metal tips, should be stored safely. ASMC offers an accessory for this: a quiver that can be worn on the body. This also protects the arrows. Although they are made of robust material, they can break if handled improperly. The fletching also requires special protection, as it can be easily damaged.

How do the different arrows from ASMC differ?

Arrows for archery differ mainly in their material: fiberglass or spruce wood is usually used. Other distinguishing features:
- The weight: It is 20 to 30 grams.
- The length: It is 60 to 70 centimeters.
- The diameter: It is 6 to 8 millimeters, depending on the arrow.
All arrows have a metal tip.

Questions: Archery

Which arrows should you choose?

Beginners tend to choose the lighter and shorter arrows. These can be shot with less bow tension and therefore require less effort. More advanced archers tend to choose the longer and heavier arrows. These fly a longer distance and are more accurate, even in light winds.

What role does the material of the arrow and the fletching play?

For amateur archers, there will be hardly any difference. It is best to try out different arrows and discover your favorites in practice.

What types of bows are there?

There are the so-called horse bows, which are shorter than the so-called "normal" longbows or sports bows for better usability, as there is of course not infinite space underneath on a horse. There are also the so-called hunting bows, such as the compound bow or the recurve bow.
