12PCS Traditional Medieval Bamboo Arrows 32 inches Practice Targeting Hunting Arrow 6" Fletching for Longbow Compound Bow Recurve

I bought them to get a bit better range out of my recurve #40 turkish bow and they delivered. 20 to 30 yards further than my other set.Unfortunately, the tips are secured so so, and because they fly so fast, at short range they can go through the foam pad and bale into the wood. Even while carefully prying them out the tip came off on two of them, which probably means they need better glue and to be crimpled a bit deeper.So what I mean by this is that they might need a bit of maintenance to get them to top shape as manufacturing can be a bit spotty, but it is easily fixable and well worth the price.

These are my 1st set of traditional arrows. I ordered them to go with my traditional Chinese bow. Aesthetically they pair well, though at max length of 32”s, could be an issue for long armed people using thumbdraw. I had trepidation about glue on tips, but so far are holding up. These arrows weigh right around 470 grains total. They work well for my Chinese bows which tend to favor heavier arrows, and they look the part. I did find a couple nocks with poor cutouts. The feathers are nice. Long and tapered to a really low profile. Makes me wonder how much they actually contribute to correcting arrow flight. Flight is fairly straight but on the slow side compared to modern arrows. Durability is a still up in the air. I destroyed two tips and one shaft hitting the target rail at the range. (Due to getting used to the arrow weight at 30 meters). I also lost one when it buried itself in the grass. Blends in too well. I may have to color the fletchings with a fluorescent highlighter. Overall the price is right, and has the authentic asiatic look to go with traditional eastern archery so I would buy again.Update: I had a chance to compare these against similar arrows sold here on Amazon, the more expensive $68 version with the 6.2" angle cut feathers. Those arrows fly really straight due to the larger feathers. The extra length gets crumpled when drawing with thumb ring and the self nocks on those are particularly fragile. They are also heavier and gives a more predictable flight. These arrows with the slim feather profile keep getting lost when burrowing into the grass! If the feather profile was just slightly larger while keeping their unique shape, I'd be very happy. I like the feather profile because there is no crumpling of the feathers when nocking the arrow. Just need more height for better flight stabilization. And ability to get longer arrows would be great.

These are beautiful and strong! Well crafted and worth the money.

As noted above, spine is 6/700. Weight ranges from 354 gr to 555 gr but this is the extreme (6 are 462-478), 4 are below safe weight for my bow (10 gr per lb, 45 lb bow). Fit and finish is good (a lot better than PG1), fletching is nice, all nocks on arrows I received are well done (consistent width and depth), fletching is correct distance from nock for thumb ring draw.

I shot these from a 40# Hungarian style static recurve. Simply put, these arrows are not worth buying. The look and finish is good, and I’m sure their durability would be satisfactory over time, as they look to be quite sturdy. However, they aren’t straight at all, the weights are different and far too light. 5” groups shot with other arrows turn into 18” groups with these. The inconsistency and crookedness of the shaft make these nearly unshootable.
