What are bows and arrows (used for archery) made out of?
ok traditional bows are made of wood some of the fancier traditonal bows are laminated woods these traditional bows shoot either wood arrows or some people shoot fiber glass
compound and new age bows are made of a combination of fiberglass and metal (alimunim) and they fire mainly aluminum and carbon fiber arrows but you do see some fiberglass arrows (ive seen fiberglass fishing arrows) and some wood arrows fired from them
Golden games for archers
Imagine you're standing on the torrent of a castle and shooting an arrow into mist ten thousand feet below you. Sound like medieval times? Try last month when the World Field Archery Championships were held in the German forest village of Dahn.
With the development of the new technology, we are attached to various materials. We have found that there are many available choices to the same goods with different making materials in our daily consuming. So it is the same with that of industrial process.
Today, let's have a look at the arrow shafts made from different materials and make a simple compare from their respective advantages and disadvantages. The compared materials are aluminum, wood, composite and fiberglass.
It is common to find an arrow shaft made from aluminum as its easy access and competitive durability. But as the composite arrows are made from aluminum wrapped with carbon, they prevail over the aluminum shafts on the aspect of durability. For the shaft made from wood and fiberglass, it is their shortage, especially the fiberglass shafts. If you do not take them carefully, you would pay for your carelessness.
Considering their results of use, composite shafts stand out for its perfect speed. As the aluminum shafts can be used with interchangeable arrowheads, it is more favorable than shafts of other materials. And the consistent manufacturing makes the shafts of aluminum and fiberglass available for different weights and sizes. Wood is naturally inconsistent, so the resulting arrows won't be much perfect.
Referring to the price, the wood takes great advantages, I suppose. It is the cheapest material available. It is good for the beginners as you can pay little while learning. And the aluminum and fiberglass are a bit higher. Of course, the most expensive one is the one from composite shafts as its producing process and methods.In brief, we have done a little acknowledge of the arrow shaft types. It is difficult to taste all. Each type holds its strength and weakness. Thus, it makes difficulties when we are making the decision to choose the best arrow shaft. In fact, the most proper is the best. At this moment, maybe it is a good chance for the future arrow shaft manufacturers. They had better try their best to find a proper material which balances all the aspects. We do believe it would come true one day as the rapid developing technology.

I need help buying archery arrows as a gift
I want to buy my BIL arrows as a b-day gift. He got a bow last year and my sis says he needs some new arrows. He is very novice - purely recreational shooting at targets set um in the yard. Neither of us knows anything about arrows. She found one of his old ones and measured it - it is 83cm long and 6mm wide. Does anyone know if I need to get exactly the same thing for them to work with his bow? I know they can be made out of different material wood/aluminum right?
As he is a novice she thought he would probably prefer more cheaper ones than few higher end ones - Anyone got any advice? I want to make sure I give him something he can use.
Thanks!
You're best off to get the exact lenght, because they were likely cut to fit him and his bow. You shouldn't be able to find wooden ones, but if you do, stay away from them. They are for low powered bows.
No need to get two kinds, really, as they would shoot differently, and he needs consistent performance to get good at this. Just get some high quality aluminum ones, and don't spend the extra money on the carbon fiber type.

I am 16, can I arch at an archery range unsupervised?
I'm in the US and I'm about to get my license so i'll be able to drive to the range by myself. Exciting except for I don't know whether i have to have an adult there. I'm not hunting, and it's at a legal, legit range. I don't use a crossbow.
At the public range in my area adult (18) supervision is required. if the range your going to is run by the city or county parks it is likely the same. Call your local jurisdiction and ask.

archery.. can i shoot FOBs through whisker biscuit arrow rests?
No way possible. You have to use a drop-away rest. And be a little leary of those u-tube video's showing how great the FOB is. Their only purpose is to sell the product and truth in advertising is the least of their concerns. Get on the net and check out the thousands of tournaments held yearly that pay out millions of dollars to the winners- and none shoot the FOB. When money is on the line the product that produces the best results will be used.
