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).
