BEWARE; Cheap Chinese Made Bamboo Arrows.
Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2022 11:05 am
I wanted some bamboo arrows to use with my Asiatic style bows. At $49.00 per dozen after discount and delivered to my door I thought it worth the risk.
The self nocked arrows appear to be well made although the parallel slip over field points may be a little difficult to remove from some type of target butts or could cause extra damage to 3D targets when removing the arrow.
I randomly selected six arrows to check their mass. The results were far worse than I anticipated. The results as follow; 401.2 grn; 421.3 grn; 506.2 grn; 521.6 grn; 535.5 grn; 592.6 grn.
The price one pays for being lazy, I should have made my own.

“These bamboo arrows are handcrafted, and have a touch of tradition and quality. They look very traditional. The arrows are pre-fletched with red turkey feathers, and with cutting nocks and fixed glue-on field points installed. The feathers and nocks are tied off with silk thread. The overall length is approximately 31.89" from nock groove to the point end. They are fully finished and ready to shoot.”
