subject: various shafts [print this page] Today, let's have a look at the arrow shafts made from different materials and make a simple compare from their respective advantages and disadvantages. The compared materials are aluminum, wood, composite and fiberglass.
It is common to find an arrow shaft made from aluminum as its easy access and competitive durability. But as the composite arrows are made from aluminum wrapped with carbon, they prevail over the aluminum shafts on the aspect of durability. For the shaft made from wood and fiberglass, it is their shortage, especially the fiberglass shafts. If you do not take them carefully, you would pay for your carelessness.
Considering their results of use, composite shafts stand out for its perfect speed. As the aluminum shaft can be used with interchangeable arrowheads, it is more favorable than shafts of other materials. And the consistent manufacturing makes the shafts of aluminum and fiberglass available for different weights and sizes. Wood is naturally inconsistent, so the resulting arrows won't be much perfect.
Referring to the price, the wood takes great advantages, I suppose. It is the cheapest material available. It is good for the beginners as you can pay little while learning. And the aluminum and fiberglass are a bit higher. Of course, the most expensive one is the one from composite shafts as its producing process and methods.
