Making the lightest arrow
david w.:
I dont really care about speed but i would like to get the flatest trajectory possible from one of my 40lb longbows for target shooting. What would be a good wood to use? Also wouldthat reed that starts with a PH (i dont know how to spell it) I heard it was really light.
Could i use 3" fletchings instead of 5-5 1/2" fletching?
El Destructo:
Your talking about Phragmites....they look like Boo or Cane....but are really punky and full of some honeycombed looking stuff....but the Indians used them ....and they are light.....cant hurt to try....but I don't know what they would spine out at...
armymedic.2:
add more weight to the bow, ooggaa boogga.....no really though, what about good ole' port oxford cedar with a light coat of sealant and a 90 gr point? that stuff is super light and is a great contender for being the most consistent arrow wood around imo.

You could saw up pine board squares (provided the grain's straight) and plane them round. Works pretty well for target arrows. Especially tapered :)!
