Making the lightest arrow
richpierce:
Phragmites do make super-light arrows. Shooting for distance, they easily out-shoot anything else I have tried. Nock inserts are required as are foreshaft inserts. Harvest the thickest, straightest ones you can find, before first frost if possible.

I shoot the same arrows whether I'm shooting 3-D or hunting so my knowledge of the arrow's trajectory is implanted in my mind. It doesn't matter how flat your arrows fly as long as you can put them where you want them. I believe you complicate your shooting by shooting different arrows for target and different arrows for hunting. Pat

the bow i will be using is only for targets. Its a very light weight longbbow I wouldnt want to hunt deer with it.
jamie:
also if using phragmites , find them as straight as possible. they dont like to be starightened. if the bend is too much you'll just crush the walls and ruin the shaft when bending.

B and Destructo, You both know your bows and arrows well, for a couple of kids; but, you've got a few years to pack on before you can lay claim to the "coveted" title "Old Men". You guys finish your Gerbers while I top the mourning with some milk, natures way of keeping the spine in your arrow.
