Making the lightest arrow

david w.:
That was what i was thinking.  white pine would make a light arrow

stickbender:

     As for your fletching, you can use shorter fletching on your target arrows.  Look at some of the english target arrows.  They use short sheild type.

White pine makes good light arrows. I've made a couple sets over the years, and they're good, flat shooting target arrows.

M-P:
Hi,  My 3D arrows are currently POC, 90 gr points, one coat of water based varnish, 350 gr finished weight.  I'm getting ~170 fps out of a 42 lb bow.  It sure makes for a flatter trajectory than a heavy haunting arrow, but the foam deer don't seem to mind.  The main problem is that POC breaks easily.

uhhggg

sitka spruce is super strong, barely lighter  than poc, and not too bad for straightening
