Question on arrows for youngins

<< < (2/4) > >>

PEARL DRUMS:
There is a fellow over on Leatherwall that specializes in kids ramin arrows. I think he gets about $45 for a dozen. He gives them a crown cap, some cresting and 3 feathers. Not a bad way to go if your not in the buying and building mood.

Hawkdancer:
We are using mostly carbons in my classes, also have some woodies, I think.  Most of the bows pull 15# - 20#, and I think the arrows are spines pretty close to that as my predecessor is a competition coach.  I have some well cured osier shoots (bark on) if you need some.

TimBo:
I have gotten a lot of use out of a set of kids arrows from 3 Rivers.  They have worked well on rattan bows, lightweight osage, and my old red fiberglass bow for all three of my kiddos. 

Mesophilic:
Thanks for the tips guys.

She's ready for something more accurate and wants to start shooting some 3D (will be 9 next month).  Asked me why the arrows don't go where she's pointing, so I figure it's time to try to tailor to her needs.

paulsemp:
You can build them if you want most archery shops sell quarter inch arrows for about three bucks a piece. Hard even make them for that. Make sure you buy ones with real field tips that are Sharp. Those rounded crimp on points barely stick in targets. Nothing's more frustrating for a kid then to not have their Arrow stick in targets. I've made a lot of kids bows and those quarter inch arrows even out of 8 to 10 lb bows fly like darts. Kids take much more interest when they're Arrow flight looks like what adults do. They are very forgiving from 5 to 20 lbs
