Where can I purchase inexpensive practice archery arrows? And what would be the best material to use?
I am not very good yet so I will bust many arrows in practice.
It depends on what kind of bow you have and what the draw-weight is, partly. If all you want are some “generic” practice arrows, you can find some in places such as Cabela’s, Gander Mountain, Sportsmart, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Wal-Mart, etc; what you can find in these places is what are often known as “throw-away arrows” (the quality is usually just so-so, and you can throw away the arrows when they “wear out” – if they last that long). Yes, they do have “premium” arrows, too, but they cost a lot more than the “generic” practice arrow.
If you want some practice arrows that will last a while, even through a little abuse, get aluminum or carbon-fibre. They are tough, fairly light-weight (great for target shooting) and relatively inexpensive (but they still are not “cheap”).
Of course, if you want to force yourself to learn proper “form” and become accurate very quickly, get some wood-shafted arrows; besides being biodegradable (when they do get lost – and everyone loses arrows eventually!), they can be used as “tomato stakes” or closet/drawer “air fresheners” (cedar shafting, when it breaks, just smells wonderful…). There is a company, “Nirk”, which sells good “generic” wood-shafted arrows at a fairly reasonable price; believe it or not, Nirk Archery makes some really good products, when the price is taken into consideration. Wood shafting does, however, require more care than aluminum or carbon-fibre.
If money is your #1 issue, get some cheap “kiddie” arrows; they probably won’t last very long, but at least they cost only about $1.50 each. Just make sure you use a bow meant to be used with those arrows, or you could end up breaking a perfectly good bow.
For a few sources of arrows/arrow shafting, see the links in the “source list” below. Pay close attention to the “Spine Chart” on the Arrows By Kelly (Foxfire Traditional Archery) website.

Shooting Equipment – Arrows
Arrows are a very important part of your archery equipment, and even look alike at first glance Modern technology now offers manufacturers the opportunity to make arrows with many types of materials. Look at some options when choosing an arrow.
Wooden arrows have for hundreds of years, when we come back on the history of archery. Today However, wooden arrows are rarely used because they offer greater durability and not just a straight arrow of constant comparison with others.
Aluminum has been a popular choice until recently, although many still prefer archers archers especially aluminum target. Most great blow to the use of aluminum arrows, that they are easy to mold when they hit an object other than the goal. In a hunting situation, when the arrow passes through the animal and reached the ground, rocks or trees, you can bend a little without knowing the hunter. Next Once the arrow is fired, you inconsistent results.
Carbon has become a popular choice for bow hunters because it is very resistant and does not bend. The arrow is straight or failure to strike a hard object. Carbon is very lightweight for the amount of material needed to achieve an arrow. Some companies also combine other materials for carbon and Kevlar, which makes the boom more sustainable. One thing to keep in mind when using carbon arrows is to ensure that arrows did not chipped by use. This can cause injury if an arrow carved decides to break into the plan.

I work for a field that requires a target Archery long lasting and a 13-year-old can shoot an arrow in practice and made to enter, do not bounce. My budget which is small (less than or equal $ 100). it is, and if so, how do I get information about it? ps. I found (CSI 24 "Natural Archery mat of rice straw), but I can not find any info on it, except (a 24 "target happens to Matt and dried using 100% straw Rice reduces the natural arrow penetration force using a resistance level appropriate compressed enough to stop the arrow.) Witch is incomprehensible to me, where is more information on this? I can not find any hay at least not for me in the region until the fall but I need it now
We use targets consisting of layers of compressed foam using a pair of straps and shrink. The arrows between the layers and are stopped by compression of the layers of foam. We used the same objective of moving 4 years, comes face paint, then paint Bulley again. Not only do they bear even a child of 13 years, our stand for 3 adults has increased by 70 pounds of pull and crossbows from 2 to 150 pounds each. You can choose em ups BassPro, Cabela's or D * cks sporting goods for less than $ 100.

New Archery Gear and Accessories
Apex Bone Collector Stabilizer
The “tuning-fork” design converts noise and vibration into heat. Patented constraint-layer-dampening technology. Removable weights for easy balancing.
Octane 2009 Trip Wire Arrow Rest
Ready, set, launch. It’s that simple with the new Trip Wire arrow rest. The titanium launcher drops at a triggered rate, allowing the launcher to stay in the up position longer. This gives the arrow support and guidance for bull’s-eye accuracy. The Trip Wire’s lightning speed provides optimal fletching clearance and is forgiving. Additionally, you can set the launcher to remain in the up position until you take a shot. This minimizes arrow wandering whenever you have to draw and let down. Molded with an abrasion-resistant dampening material for complete silence on the draw and at the shot. Quick and easy setup. Right-hand only.
Trophy Ridge Drop Shot
Each Trophy Ridge Drop Away Rest gets out of the way faster than any other rests on the market. Guaranteed drop away every time û no-fletch contact. Bottom line û your shot is quiet, accurate, repeatable
It’s a new, simple drop away design that is the lightest and most compact way to achieve completely unobstructed vertical drop. Thorough high-speed photography tests reveal that there is no effect on the arrow during release as the arm quickly swings away on dual sealed ball bearings. Rubber dampeners mean there is no metal-to-metal contact during draw or release û it’s silent.
NAP BloodRunner Broadheads
NAP’s BloodRunner sets a new standard in lethality. The new BloodRunner’s hybrid design combines the reliability of a full 1″ cutting diameter fixed blade with the gruesome blood trails only a 1 1/2″ cutting diameter mechanical broadhead can deliver. BloodRunner’s Slide-Hammer effect drives the hardened steel tip through bone and cartilage with authority and super thick .036″ Diamized stainless steel blades, scalpel sharp, slice through tissue as if it were not there. Combine these features with the BloodRunner’s aerodynamic ferrule design to render field point accuracy and you simply won’t find a better broadhead on the market today. Available in 100 Grains.

Traditional Arrow Making?
I want to start traditional archery, Im getting the Fred Bear Montana Longbow 45#. Is it cheaper to make your own arrows? If so what materials would I need? Whats the difference between 11/32 and 5/16 arrows? I want wood arrows. Please help Nate
So, the easiest way to get started is to just buy the shafts. Port Orford Cedar polished and turned is the standard for this sort of thing. Then you are going to need a fletching jig (get a tri – feather if you are going to do alot of arrows it is 3 x faster) a taper tool (looks like a double manual pencil sharpener) some fletching and point glue and you are good to go. If you want to get crazy, get a cresting tool. 11/32 vs. 5/16 is the shaft diameter, thicker shafts are for heavier bows. What’s more important will be the spine weight of the arrow. This depends on your draw length as well. So, wherever you go to get the stuff you can talk to someone there. Or if you can’t get that information, generally heavier won’t hurt you unless you are grossly overspined in which case the arrow will fly a bit wobbly.
You can make shafts yourself, but that is a major pain and the premade ones are straighter and more consistent than you are likely to get. If you want to get crazy – get a cresting tool so you can mark the arrows with your unique crest.
