As a bowhunter and archer, shooting the right arrows is critical for your success. The bestcarbon arrows for hunting perform better, have high levels of accuracy, and are more reliable, with the end result of you being more successful in the field.

Carbon arrows are by far the most popular type of arrows in use today. The best arrows are advertised to have straightness tolerances from 0.001 to 0.006 inches, and naturally the straighter the arrows the more expensive they will be.

Manufacturers always carefully measure each arrow as they come off the production line, and are then separated into classes based on their straightness. Arrows are classified by this straightness, with premium arrows falling in the 0.001­0.002" range, mid­range arrows will be within 0.003­0.004", and standard carbon arrows at 0.005­0.006".

There are three kinds of carbon arrows that you can find in Combat Australia:

Carbon Arrows

Carbon is usually favored by compound­bow archers and many bowhunters. They fly straight out of recurve bows, and are a mid­priced option for competition arrows. Carbon shafts are straight and uniform, with specific options for spine and diameter. These arrows first came onto the hunting scene in the 1990's and have gained in popularity steadily ever since, to the point where the vast majority of today's bowhunters use carbon shafted arrows. Carbon arrows are lighter and hold tighter tolerances than even aluminum arrows, resulting in higher speeds, increased accuracy, and higher penetration.

Aluminum Arrows

Aluminum makes a great arrow for those archers investing in a first bow and striving to berelatively accurate at competition distances of 18 meters and beyond. These arrows feature uniform straightness and durability, with nearly endless options for length, spine and diameter (flexibility). They're competition­worthy but won't break the bank.

For a long time in the history of arrows and bows, aluminum was the arrow shaft of choice for bow hunting. The weight of an aluminum arrow will always be heavier than a carbon arrow with an equal spine.

Fiberglass Arrows

Fiberglass is the arrow of choice for youth camps and other group­archery programs. Inexpensive, available and relatively straight in varied lengths, these arrows are a great way to get started in the sport. They help you learn whether archery is something you enjoy before investing some coin on equipment.

Pros: Inexpensive, usually ready­made at your archery retailer; and consistent from batch to batch.

Cons: Difficult to custom­size; prone to splintering, which can be dangerous; heavy, which hurts accuracy at longer distances. For recurve bows only.
