All arrows bend in fight. It’s called the archers paradox. Carbons arrows are generally flatter shooting because they weigh less but I prefer aluminum because I hunt with traditional bows. Because of that, I do not have the screaming velocity that a compound archer would so I create my adequate lethality with mass weight. My current set up is a 740gr total arrow weight using a 2219 aluminum shaft and 300gr up front. It goes about 155fps out of my longbow but it’ll punch through a deer or a bear like butter. That arrow carries a lot of momentum.
They don't bend as you shoot it.. they will bend in general, and they're easier to bend back than an aluminum arrow. If you're seeing your arrow bend as you shoot it, you should check to see if they're straight by performing a straightener test. You shouldn't see any bend to your carbon arrows.. if you do, use a shaft tamer or an arrow straightener to fix it.
The Sticks Outfitter No not bend and stay bent ....I meant to say they flex ....all arrows flex when shot . and hopefully correct them selves in flight ....with tuning either your bow or arrows or both you can have better results .
I started hunting with Easton XX75’s and loved them, then went to carbon. I wasn’t too happy with the carbon but since I can hardly find XX75’s around where I’m at I stick with carbon.
AT PRESENT IHAVE JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST ALUMINUM AROWS AND ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT CARBON ARROWS AND I FIND THE ARROWS ARE VERY CLOSE EXCEPT THE CARBON SEEM TO CRACK I LIKE BOTH BUT AM LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BETTER AND A BIT OF EACH TYPE OF THE ARROWS WOULD SUIT ME , I WOULD BE EIGER TO SEE THE CARBON ALUMINUM TO SEE HOW THEY WORK. PLEASELET ME KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LIKE.
They fly straight, are extremely durable, and the only arrows I shoot. If you miss a shot, it will chip/crack a lot easier... so I just try not to miss the target haha
1. Carbon 2. Fiberglass IF you don’t shoot them at hard objects 3. Wood However it depends on entirely on the type of wood and type of fiberglass. This is generally speaking.
I shoot a 45 lb. Anthem recurve, and just from practice I prefer aluminium just because they tend to flatten out in flight better. I also have shot a few carbon as well as some cedar. Nothing beats cedar on a recurve, but I will say that carbons get a lot better when you use longer vanes, preferably 3.5 to 4 inch. It helps smooth out that little jump off the shelf and also flattens them out in a way that is comparable to aluminium. That said, I'm sitting on 5 aluminium, 5 carbon and 6 cedar in my quiver rn, although the fletching on the cedar shafts needs redoing. The Fall Stalker aluminiums are a nice budget shaft with a good, long set of vanes on them though.
Why would you say carbon arrows don't bend when shot? That's called paradox. That is why you paper tune- to make sure it has corrected and is flying straight meaning you have the correct spine.
Great idea! We will look into making that video.. We were going to include it in our "how to choose arrows" video, but I think it would be better talking about it in its own video. Thanks for the suggestion and comments!
I would guess they do - arrows come in a stock size (I'm not exactly sure what length), and a pro shop staff member at your local archery shop will be able to cut it to the length you need. How long is your draw?
Alloy/Carbon arrows are aluminum on the exterior and carbon in the interior, not the other way around. This way, the strength/stiffness of the arrow is supported by the carbon in the middle. The benefit of the aluminum in this combination is that the arrow will not shatter upon release nor impact like some full carbon arrows will. If the arrow was built with the aluminum in the inside and carbon outside, then there would be a higher chance of failure due to the aluminum core staying bent and therefore cracking its' grainy carbon exterior.
I've shot aluminum and carbon. While carbon is great I will say this- I have had carbon arrows snap upon doing the flex test. Aluminum just bends if anything and damaged aluminum arrows are pretty obvious and don't snap.
I do not like carbon for the fact of if they break off while possible stuck in an animal you have little pieces that ruin good meet. Aluminum arrows for hunting. Carbon arrows for target shooting.
All arrows experience the archer's paradox. Some good points were made but some were made without the proper education of arrow dynamics and how arrows work.
carbon arrows are also dangerous (if you get the wrong kind for your bow or if you're using a homemade bow) just go on google and search "carbon arrow hand injury" it is disturbing though
If they've splintered from a previous shot that hit a rock or for some reason has been chipped, that is a possibility. They hold up as long as you take good care of them and check them frequently

Carbon arrows bend buddy ......I shoot the heck out of them and I see it .

Absolutey
ski bum yah they do
thay flex but don't bend look up slo mo of arrow ahoots

Why are you shouting ?
Sir, please stop yelling. My kid’s are asleep.
I use wood arrows
I love the videos! 👍 I’m shooting Easton 6mm FMJ arrows.
Glad you like the videos! Thanks for commenting - Those Eastons are awesome arrows
im a crossbow shooter i use Easton Bloodlines thinking about gettin Easton FMJ
Good arrows!
Cheers man good content!
Which are more durable or will last longer?
(amongst all - wood, fibreglass, Carbon)
Thanks
1. Carbon
2. Fiberglass IF you don’t shoot them at hard objects
3. Wood

Love your videos and help out a lot thanks
Awesome! Thanks for the comment, glad we're able to help
you guys need to do a massive video. on slingbow and don't forget the homemade swing both either
Slingbows eh? That would be pretty fun
Fmj because all my carbon arrows brake when they go through a deer
That can definitely be a problem haha.
Hwfishing but they also bend
How much better do you think those resist bending vs a full aluminum?
the amount of scientific nonsense in this video is too damn high
I have 5mm fmj, but think of upgrading to 5mm fmj dangerous game.
can you do a vid on 3 vanes vs 4 vanes on arrow flight or noise. Also, 2 inch vs 3 in vs 4 in vanes.
Great idea! We will look into making that video.. We were going to include it in our "how to choose arrows" video, but I think it would be better talking about it in its own video. Thanks for the suggestion and comments!
The Sticks Outfitter great video btw!!!
Thank you!! And thanks for watching, as always!
do you know if Easton makes 34 inch arrows?
I would guess they do - arrows come in a stock size (I'm not exactly sure what length), and a pro shop staff member at your local archery shop will be able to cut it to the length you need. How long is your draw?
The Sticks Outfitter 33 inches
I know this comment is old but they do, it’s technically a target shaft but the XX75 eclipse shaft come in 34 inch lengths in a couple spines

I wish I had "FMJ" by Easton.
Yeah I've heard those are some nice arrows
I've shot aluminum and carbon. While carbon is great I will say this- I have had carbon arrows snap upon doing the flex test.
Aluminum just bends if anything and damaged aluminum arrows are pretty obvious and don't snap.

Aluminum arrows for hunting. Carbon arrows for target shooting.
All arrows experience the archer's paradox. Some good points were made but some were made without the proper education of arrow dynamics and how arrows work.
Never use two people to make a one-person video.
carbon arrows are also dangerous (if you get the wrong kind for your bow or if you're using a homemade bow) just go on google and search "carbon arrow hand injury" it is disturbing though
"ARCHER'S PARADOX" look into it.
I shoot the 5mm Easton fmj
John Simons how you like them
O.K., well that's just not true, carbon arrows have to bend to get around the bow just like any arrow.
He need adderall hahahaha
FMJ all the way
I hear they're pretty awesome.. gonna have to try them out
Im planning to become a hunter any tips?
Make sure you practice enough so you don't just injure the animals
Awe. You two make a cute couple
Plus hes stoned as hell lol
Totally got distracted from the entire video because of the lack of concentration of the guy on the left. Leave him out next time....
R U Guys HIGH or what? LOL
I have seen carbon arrows blow up and head straight into the shooters hand.....No thanks
If they've splintered from a previous shot that hit a rock or for some reason has been chipped, that is a possibility. They hold up as long as you take good care of them and check them frequently
beman
All my aluminium arrows bend
Better bone up on spine and Newtons laws of physics.
Is this guy stoned lol
100th like🤘
OK information, Lose the comedy it sucks
Not funny at all
