best target arrow setup

(1/3) > >>

The Burnt Hill Archer:
hey all, im in the process of making an elb to shoot an at home York round. probably not going to join the BLBS right yet, but i am planning on doing some local target shoots too. my question is, what would you all do to make the PERFECT target arrow. im already planning on using POC, but after that im still undecided. so what would you do? barrell tapered? paralell? footed? fletch size? anything else im not thinking of?

im going to give these things all ive got, so anything that would make a perfect target arrow im willing to do.

thanks!
Phil

Pat B:
Breast tapered(nock end) arrows with white or gray feathers cut in a P&Y shape and tied on with linen or silk thread. ;)

The Burnt Hill Archer:
well Ive already got an idea about the color of the fletch, probably blue and white with a blue splice in the white cock feather. you would suggest breast tapered over barrel, is there any particular reason? and if the barrel isn't any better than breast, than what is the whole point to barrel tapering? not refuting, just wondering.

also i was wondering about the practiality of inlaid nocks. would it be better to use the plastic jobies in case i bust them? or is repairing inlaid nocks not that hard?

and what about footing? would it be better to foot them to make them a little more durable. and what effect would that have on the flight?

man im asking alot of questions, sorry about that, thats the way adult ADD works. i get my mind on something and thats the only thing i can think about!

The Burnt Hill Archer:
76 other lookers and not one other expert? hmmm

FlintWalker:
I'm no expert, but like Pat said...breast tapered POC is hard to beat.
 I like low cut 5" feathers with a slight offset.
