Durable fiberglass limbs. Fits both left- and right-handed students. AMO 60 length.
When selecting the right type of arrow, consider the shaft material, the arrow length, the fletching/vane material, and the draw weight. |
|
| Fiberglass Shaft | |
|
Straighter and more consistent than wood; very stiff. Heavier weight makes them more durable but means they won't fly as quickly. |
| Aluminum Shaft | |
|
Lighter weight, precision-machined for straightness and true flight; most stiff. Most durable and preferred for competition. |
| Wood Shaft | |
|
Lightest weight, economical; less stiff. Excellent flight, and great for beginners or users with lower bow draw weights. |
| Arrow Length | |
|
The arrow length should be about 1" longer than the distance from the user's chest to fingertips (arms extended and palms together). Middle School: 24"-26"L High School: 28"-30"L |
| Fletching/Vane Material | |
|
Feather: Lightweight and forgiving; flies true. Plastic: Durable, long-lasting, and weather-resistant; quiet in flight. |
| Draw Weight | |
|
Match arrows with bow draw weight. A comfortable draw weight should require 75% or less of the user's maximum strength. Generally users 100-130 lb use a 25-35 lb draw weight, while users 130-160 lb use a 30-40 lb draw weight.

|
| Bow Types | |
|
Recurve - Simple design with few components for institutional durability. Relies more on user technique for accuracy. Compound - Easier to draw, aim, and shoot due to its energy-storing pulley system. Allows arrow to go greater distances. |
| AMO Length | |
|
AMO length is an industry standard of bow/string length. Actual strings run 3"-4" shorter than AMO length. Order bowstrings using bow/string AMO lengths. |
