Wolfman Archery Arrow Selection Guide

Wolfman Archery Arrow Selection Guide

Step 1: Identify Your Draw Length

• Measure your arm span (fingertip to fingertip) in inches and divide by 2.5.

• Example: 70 inches arm span ÷ 2.5 = 28-inch draw length.

Step 2: Determine Draw Weight

• Youth/Beginner: 15-30 lbs

• Intermediate: 30-50 lbs

• Experienced/Target Shooting: 50-70 lbs

• Hunting: 40-70 lbs (state regulations may apply)

Step 3: Choose Arrow Spine (Stiffness)

Arrow spine ensures the arrow flexes correctly when shot. Match your draw weight and arrow length to the appropriate spine:

Draw Weight	Arrow Length	Recommended Spine
15-30 lbs	24-28 inches	800-1000
30-40 lbs	26-29 inches	600-700
40-50 lbs	28-30 inches	500-600
50-60 lbs	28-31 inches	400-500
60-70 lbs	29-32 inches	300-400

Step 4: Select Arrow Material

• Carbon: Lightweight, durable, fast (ideal for hunting and target shooting).

• Aluminum: Affordable, consistent, slightly heavier (good for target practice).

• Wood: Traditional look, best for longbows and historical archery.

Step 5: Consider Arrow Weight (GPP - Grains Per Pound)

• Target Shooting: 5-6 GPP (grains per pound of draw weight)

• Hunting: 6-9 GPP (heavier for better penetration)

Step 6: Choose the Right Fletching

• Plastic Vanes: Best for compound bows and outdoor shooting.

• Feathers: Great for traditional bows and indoor shooting.

Step 7: Pick the Right Tip

• Field Points: Practice and target shooting.

• Broadheads: Hunting (fixed or mechanical blades).
