IDEAL FOR THE ADVANCED ARCHER WHO WANTS THE TOUGHEST WOODEN ARROW THEY CAN FIND.

If you are an archer with good form, and are ready to step up to the finest wooden arrows, these are the arrows you will find.  If you are a traditional archer or hunter, these are sleek, and pack a punch.

These matched black arrow hunting sets come with 3 fully finished black arrows made of the same high carbon steel insert style legal 1 inch wide hunting broad heads.  You will need to sharpen them.

All black arrows come with these insert heads, which allow me to achieve my goal of making sets of bamboo arrows which are very tough and fly into a teacup at 20 yards if your form is good.  These hunting arrows are no exception.

Years ago, I set out with a goal as an arrow smith is to make bamboo arrows which were TOUGH, and would group in a teacup if your archery form was consistent.  What I didn’t know when I started this project, was that I was ALSO creating a wooden arrow which was almost indestructible.

Here is why:

By creating an arrow where the weakest point (The point where the arrow is most likely to fail under stress) is no longer in the wood, but in the back end of a high carbon (flexible steel, not brittle steel) you transfer the weakest point in the arrow FROM THE WOOD to the back of the head.  As you can see, the head is damaged, but the rest of the arrow is still just fine!  The head can usually be gently tapped back into alignment.  Even the badly bent head in the photo below was back in my quiver the next day.

Instructions on how to straighten these heads can be found on BAMBOO ARROW UNIVERSITY.

Each BLACK ARROW comes with a brass collar which is custom fit to each arrow…BY ME. This brass collar adds great strength and durability to each arrow as you can see in the photos above.

As you would expect, EVERYTHING matches across the set.  The heads, the spines, the weight…all of it.

Every set is made from scratch after your order is received (and paid for).  They are CUSTOM made for you and the bow you will shoot them off of.  For that reason, the more we know, the better we can match them to you and your bow.  If you are certain about what you want, you may simply order them, but if you would like to have a conversation and some advice, that is ALWAYS welcomed.  Just check the box on the order form…or better yet, call me.
