TopArchery Carbon Arrows

- in this video I had the opportunity to build, test, and review carbon arrows shafts, and components from Toparchery. In full transparency, Toparchery did send the arrow shafts and components to test and review.
The carbon shafts are 500 spine with a 6.2 mm inside diameter, and a full 33 inch length. I have to say I was impressed with the quality of the carbon shafts and the components sent to build these arrows. If you are looking at inexpensive arrows and components to build target arrows, these would make a great investment for anyone on a budget. All items shown in this video are quality, budget friendly components for your next arrow build.
Also included were, pin nocks, field tips, and turkey feather fletching. All were in good order and worked well for the arrow build.

The products used in this video are good quality and will make a great addition to your arrow or component collection.
I am so glad you turned me on to building dual fletching. Dual fletching has easily become my favorite fletching arrangement.
You are using fewer feathers so fletching is 30% cheaper.
I fletch 4-5” left hand feathers, with a 1 1/2 degree left helical offset.
My arrows will easily self correct to archers paradox or string release within 10 yards. I fletch mine vertically inline with the nock , so any way the arrow gets nicked it is correct. Faster nocking, faster shooting.
Worth experimenting towards smaller feather mass, once you are sure the larger feather size is doing a good job for you and your arrow builds.
That’s awesome brother. I started doing this on a whim to see how it would work, and glad I did. It definitely does cut down on cost and your fletching go further. I have been looking for 5 inch fletchings with less feather mass, and have yet to find what I’m looking for. I had the thought of building or buying and feather burner. I think I have an old train transformer around somewhere. Any suggestions?
As always my friend I appreciate your time and wisdom. Have a great day my friend. Best regards
@@ScottWinters Hi Scott.
There are two companies out of England, one called Heritage Long Bows, and they make many different acrylic fletching templates that allow you to quickly cut the shape/size of your choice, with one of those inexpensive hand held rolling cutters. There are videos on UA-cam showing how easy they are to use. Be sure and select a left or right template to go with your choice of left or right feather.
Thank you for the info my friend. Will have to check into that. I really appreciate your info and time brother. Have a great evening.
Very nice you can’t beat that. They do seem to be really nice arrows so far thank for sharing appreciate ya
Take care my friend God Bless.
Sig Man, thank you my friend. The build turned out well. They do not work with my horse bows, they present way to stiff unless I really load up the front end. Overall, they are a good quality arrow and components.
I appreciate your time brother. God bless
@@ScottWinters that is shocking I thought the extra length and spine weight would do well out of the Horse bows🤔 crazy
That just goes to show you you can never assume. 👍🏼👍🏼
Love the dual fletch! Beautiful work, something I always admired but never attempted, inspiring, definitely tough keeping a full quiver these days without emptying the pockets, cool tip for those who love the tradition 🦌🎯🦃be safe and stay blessed ✌
Thank you my friend. Once I started dual fletching I’ve noticed the same arrow flight as three fletch. No need to go back. Of course to each their own, it may not be for everyone.
I would at least try a few and see if it works for you. Thank you as always for your time, it is appreciated. Best regards.
@@ScottWinters thanks for the input, I truly appreciate it, I just found them visually pleasing, and thought no reference to a cock feather could be a handy tool while hunting if in need of a quick back up shot, like you say something I'd need to play around with, i just ordered the BH longbow in 35#, just curious on my arrow purchase,surfing Amazon can be fun but confusing lol, looking for something low budget to just get the feel for a shorter bow, going from 70" longbow to 60 " will definitely be different, I was the thinking 500 with some weight up front full length arrow, but not sure if thats the right choice,I've heard a 600 cut down woukdbwork too,any thoughts? My draw is just at 28, hope all is well and your day I blessed ✌🎯
You are correct, 500’s will work with some tunning. At 35 pounds the dynamic spine of the arrow will affect the arrow flight if you do not have enough grain weight up front. If the arrow can’t flex correctly in release it will produce a stiff spine impact. Try some 600’s full length and see what flight you get. Don’t cut down until you know how they impact the target. You may not need to do much in the way of tunning.
Another thing to think about is which string you will be using. If using a fast flight string it will affect the arrows dynamic spine a lot more than a standard Dacron string. I had mixed reactions to the video post I made about this topic, but it proved itself out to me personally.
Arrow selection is going to be a trial test for most archers. I’ve had good success with Linkboy, Top Archery, and Gold Tip arrows in the past. There are some really good offerings in the market these days. Not being a professional archer i do not get too deep in the weeds on arrow brands. If they hold up and produce the results I’m looking for there’s no need to be overly concerned with a name on the arrow shaft. I hope that helps you.
I really appreciate your time! Your consistent comments and video views mean a great deal to me. Thank you for your support of my content. Have a great day! Best regards
@@ScottWinters I feel the same, I a budget bowman lol, i have broke too many arrows to go seeking the expensive ones, I always felt a good archer can take the worst bow and still become efficient, it's the time,desire and drive put forth which produces a well placed shot, hunting or target shooting, i love both! Years back I only heard about high dollar stuff which I feel is leading folks away from carrying on this tradition, that's why I admire people using what can be obtained at a low price, it's kinda like golf, we could step up to the tee box with a new Callaway and still shank it into the next fairway lol, I know, I've done it lol
I've roamed Amazon and still can't pick lol, all the arrows look good to me that's my issue 🤣🤣🤣
These Top Flight Pure Carbon 33” shafts are beasts! I mean that in a good way.
Part of my practice starts from 6’ (3 arrows in a dime size circle). I’ll shoot @ 4-5 dozen arrows each practice. Followed by 5 yds, 10 yds, 15 yds, 20 yds.
In the 6’ all arrows are touching. At 5 yds groups are usually 12 arrows in 3-4” group. I’ll shoot @ 300-400 arrows a week this way.
Lots of opportunities for arrow damage. Have only had one split the shaft near a nock, when I Robin Hooded an arrow, and a Vermil nock split. Great shafts in my experience.
Loctite 😎
Hi Scott the toparchery shafts are the most accurate ones I found so far. I have tried various other's and went back to toparchery tune those up and they will be great. I have a box with about 20 I Robinhooded in the last 2 months.I am trying the collar's to try and save a few. I shared a video recently.
Keep up the great work 👍
Peace and Good Health brother 🙏
Hi, have you tried linkboy archery shafts and arrows, I went over from top archery to the linkboy 3k woven carbon, never looked back
Thank-you for the comment my friend. I was impressed with the overall quality of the shafts and components. I have tried these with my 45 LB spyder xl bow and they do present a little weak. I may tune a little, but haven't decided if I will.
Overall, I like them and am looking at purchasing some 600 spines for my horse bows. These are way too stiff for the lower poundage they shoot at.
I will check out the video you mentioned.
I appreciate your time mybfriend! Have a great evening. Best regards
Hey my friend. I have some standard Linkboy arrows and like them equally well. Haven't seen those you mentioned, but will definitely check them out. Have a great evening brother! Best regards
Enjoyed your review. TopArchery has had enough good comments that I ordered a dozen shafts (500 spine .003 straight). came at an excellent price including nocks and inserts. to be hones, didn't use their knocks, but they are in the parts bin now. I've only had the chance to shoot them a couple times, but they are performing great! Thanks for your review, and please keep doing them.
Thank you my friend. I appreciate your time. Glad you enjoyed the review. These shoot great as well. I do want to get some 400 and 600 spines from them to test. I put those up as soon as they are in.
Again, thank you for the time. Have a great day! Best regards
Very nice Scott, if I ever decide to build my own arrows I would definitely use these!
Thanks Scott, and God bless you & your family bud!
Thanks Joe. I appreciate your time brother. God bless you my friend. Have a great day!
Very nice
Thank you
Built out these shafts in 500 spine, 33”, using Easton .244” inserts, Gold Tip EZ Pull tips (85g, 100g, and 125g wt), Gokd Tip GT nocks, 5” left wing shields ( 2 degree left helical offset) 2-fletch. 308g-359g total weight depending on tips.
On my AF Zhu Ran (25#-40#) 37” draw) they are awesome.
Love the flight in all setups. With Kathra all setups work great.
Shafts are very good value.
5” Gateway shields are poor quality control. Spend your money on TrueFlights. Better quality.
I tried my hand at arrow assembly (shafts, fletchings, inserts, etc.) Not Top Archery, but still tried this build out. I have yet to test my arrows out.
That's awesome. It's these things about archery they I really enjoy, putting together the arrows, string builds, testing tuning.
Let me know how yours perform when you get out to shoot them. I appreciate your time my friend. Have a great evening! Best regards
@@ScottWinters just tried my arrows for the first time a while back. 29in shafts, 300 spine. I used 3 4inch neon green fletchings and and neon green nocks. I have progressed up to a 55 pound draw on my Samick Sage, and it's still very manageable. The arrows performed very well as long as my technique was good.
@@Jackie_Sins thanks for the update. That's awesome, and really good to hear you progressing through increased draw weight. I love to hear positive feedback and stories like this. I appreciate you. Have a great day! Best regards
Nice, is there a reason for using 2 fletch instead of 3?
I honestly like the way it looks, plus it saves on fletchings. I do not find any difference in performance between the two. If it affects anything it's the amount of drag on the arrow and could possibly hinder how fast the arrow corrects in flight.
I appreciate your time and the comment my friend. Have a great evening! Best regards
Scott, what degree helical offset are you using for your 2-fletch that self-corrects best for you?
2 feathers...not 3? Never heard of that before. Looks like it works. Is there a particular reason you go with 2 and not 3 feathers?
I read an article about a debate on which is better two or three fletch and it piqued my curiosity. I fletched a few two fletch to test out and found no major change in arrow flight. The two fletch grew on me and i really liked the look. I have stuck with it ever since.
I appreciate your time and the question my friend. Have a great evening. Best regards
I switched to 2 fletch @ 8 months ago, and I get consistent small groups. Much, much better Blind Nocking practice. Align your nocking slot w/ the fletch. 10-12 arrows shot in 60 seconds
Hello Iam omw to buy my 2 bow that Will be one samick sage 45pund or 40. What for spine do u think is best. And is the string good thats Come with the bow or is it best to buy a new string
I was told link boy arrow is really good and good price
Same with mandarin ducks arrows.
Do you heve any video about what for size of a glove that fits the hand
Thank you for the comment. For the draw weight you stated you could use a 500 spine. Toparchery has a great set of 500 spined arrows. At 33 inches long the arrow flight is great using just the standard inserts and 100 grain fieldtips.
The string that comes with the bow works well, at some point though you will want to get another one for it. The stock string is an endless loop. I personally prefer flemish twist strings because they are easy to make.
Please let me know how it works out for you. I really appreciate your time my friend. Have a great day! Best regards
@@ScottWinters thx for respond 😊 i did look att the toparchery page was alot of stuff but iam almost a beginner so I cant build arrows or somthing like that i only know how to shot 🤣 do u recomend any finish build arrows maybe a link to that arrow? Iam thing of buying 12 arrows thx for helping lost beginner in this archery world 🤣
Let me check out a few things and I will get back to you. What is your draw length? Let me know and I will see what's out there that may work for you.
@@ScottWinters i wont lie iam not sure 🤔 iam 178cm tall tho
But the black Hunter recurv i hade last summer for a while i did use 500 spine Cross-x phoenix when i did talk to mandarin ducks last summer i was trying to measure as he told me and landed around 77cm-78cm IF I did this right 🤔 but hard to know for sure maybe bad form to ? Hard to measure with a bow of air in my hand🤔
cool
👍👍♥️🎯😊
Why do you have a spider on your arm.
Thanks for the question. My father, God rest his soul, had a black widow spider tattoo on his arm in the same location. I admired him to no end and always wanted to be like him. It’s a reminder of him for me. Have a great day. Best regards.
Straightness roll on a flat table
pure carbon is 100% carbon fibre that is very light however mixed carbon is carbon fibre with fibreglass normally 70% carbon 30% fibreglass also makes it quite heavy. most prefer pure carbon fibre
Why not be like everyone else and use 3 fletch
Thanks for the comment. I like the two fletch arrows. Fly just as well and saves on fletching. Have a great evening. Best regards
🙃 ᵖʳᵒᵐᵒˢᵐ
40lb bow at 30 yards will tell the real truth..
I bought the same arrows from toparchery pre made 12 for 30 bucks took off the rubber fletch replaced with feathers and a 85 Gr tip and at 135 Feet they shoot OK wit my Bear 45 Lb Montana long bow.
Do not Buy there MIX Carbon they are JUNK only good for thrash shooting
Thanks for the advice on the mix carbon. I'll definitely keept that in mind. Looking to get some 600 spines to test out. I appreciate you my friend. Have a great evening! Best regards
