20 Best Target Arrows For Compound Bow (2023 Updated)

These arrows are well worth the money in my opinion especially if you are looking for arrows for practice or fun. I have been using the same 4 arrows out of the 12 over and over again, I have had them pass through cardboard boxes several times and the fletchings have not come off, I have buried them half way up the shafts into heavy soil several times.

The tips also have not come off and they seem pretty strong. This was before I got a target to use them with and was shooting at boxes. I have since gotten a target and they work well with the target too, I think I will get tons of use with these and if you figure out the price of them they are like a 3rd or less the cost of name brand arrows.

Now for the con: These arrows are truly made of fiberglass and while they are plenty sturdy they are probably 4X heavier than carbon fiber arrows so they don’t fly quite as true, I can still hit a bullseye with them, however they sometimes come in at a slight angle, I think the weight may be a bit much for the size of the fletchings, of course I am only shooting them from maybe 50 feet, they would probably fully straighten out at a longer distance.

I am using a compound bow set to 50lb draw with these. I am also shooting purely for recreational purposes. Overall I give these a thumbs up for a great budget arrow and would purchase them again.

I ordered my first dozen last month; they arrived in about a week. Yes they have rubber fletching, the nocks are adjustable and the screw in field tips will need to be tightened about every 3rd shot but I always check them anyway.

I already splintered one shaft of the original dozen by shooting another arrow through it but at this price Im satisfied. Though they arent the perfectly tuned arrows for the bows Im shooting they appear to be relatively durable and they have flown consistently for me so far.

For the money they are fun target shooting arrows; if I lose or break a few, its ok. Thats why I ordered 2 dozen more.

These arrows arrived very quickly from China and I have to say they show good value -compared to very expensive European made historic re-enactor ‘ museum grade’ examples. For myself I will have to re-point them with heavy replica tips and do some re-finishing to give an ‘ a more authentic- historic look to them.

They are gloss varnished which is ‘anachronistic’ and have multi cover threads to but I plan to rub-down to dull the gloss and cover the bight colour-threads with a marker. No offence it’s just a natural cultural difference sought by re-enactors.

I haven’t ‘shot’ the arrows yet because of a injury but hope they go straight as they look very well fletched! Robert of Gloucester.

So, I’m new to compound bow shooting and I went into Academy looking for some arrows. The guy working there, recommended these. The length of the arrows were listed at 28. ” 26” is my draw length so I thought I would give them a try.

However, at home I started to get this nagging feeling, so I went and measured the arrows. The length from shaft to shaft ended up being two inches less than what was listed. Why is this important, you ask? Well, when I first got my first compound bow, I shot arrows that were to short and they ended up getting stuck between the bow and the string and when I tried to pull the arrow out, I almost shot myself in the foot.

Moral is the story, always buy arrows that are the right size for you and always measure your arrows. If you are looking for arrows that are the right size for you, I recommend trying a different brand.

I bought 3 of my Grandkids Barnett Jr bow and arrow sets. They were a favorite gift and it was warm enough to go outside to use them. Having the 3 extra arrows made it easier to have multiple shots before we had to stop and collect them.

They seem sturdy and flew well. Great entry level product.

For the price, this three pack of arrows are perfect for practice sessions for my daughter. The fletching isn’t off, like many value-priced arrows. Will buy again. 10/10

Followed the manufacturer’s directions for unloading the crossbow by pulling the arrow off the string while in the deer blind. The nock stayed behind in the trigger system, this happened on 2 consecutive hunting trips.

Decided to test my other arrows after getting home, another came out as well. 50% failure rate when 3 of 6 fail. Hope the bow and other Ravin products hold up better. Crossbow shoots great, but proprietary arrow failure is concerning and disappointing.

Good bolts. I have not had as single issue with the 12 bolts I have bought, except not being able to find them after a passthrough shot on an elk and a mule deer and a shot out target. I hope someone comes up with a less expensive lighted nock that fits the Ravin products.

I have lost 4 bolts that I could have possibly found if I had lighted nocks. I can’t see paying over twice the cost of bolt for a nock with such low reviews. Come on Ravin you can produce a better quality product in the USA for a cheaper price than this Chi— junk.

If you shoot a Ravin like I do, you don’t have much choice about what bolt to use. You can either shoot the Ravin. 003 or the Ravin. 001. I shoot a lot of hogs and when I do, there is always a risk of the bolt not going all the way through the hog and getting broken on the first bush that the hog runs by.

I use the. 003 because they are incredibly accurate for my distances (I don’t take 100 yard shots) and I have never seen a reason to spend the extra money for the. 001. I have tried the ones with the lighted nocks but have been less than impressed with that brand of lighted nock.

They either fail to come on at all, go off immediately after striking the animal or they come on and refuse to go off without a major hassle in which they never seem to work again. The bolts are great but the lighted nocks are a waste of money.

I purchased a 6 pack of each of the 20″ & 22″ x-bow arrows. I was happy with the overall visual inspection and happy with the little to no variance in weight of each arrow when I put them on the scale.

The 22″ arrows were at 325 grains with +/-. 02 grains individual weight. The 20″ arrows were at 329 grains with +/-. 03 grains individual weight. When hunting I am really happy with the performance of the Excaliber Boltcutter broadheads.

They are a fixed three blade 150 grain broadhead. I like my hunting x-bow arrows to be between 450-500gn’s total weight with the arrow, broadhead, and lighted nock. These arrows fit the bill meeting those requirements.

When shooting them out of three different x-bows at speeds from 212fps up to 350fps, all three bows shooting 3 shot groups put the arrows within the diameter of a quarter at 20 yards. Very Happy! Also, they were pretty easy to pull out of the foam target compared to some other arrows I have.

I’m going to pick up another 6 pack of each and hopefully get several years use out of them. Can’t wait for this year’s archery seasons to open up!.

The arrows were packed loose the a box with no packing. I was lucky this time, but this is no way to ship arrows. This would have been 5 stars if not for the packing job. Don’t get me wrong, I like to shop at Academy even though I live in Wa.

Used to live in TX and shopped at Academy all the time. So this is really disappointing.

I always keep a couple of these with a judo tip when I’m out deer hunting in case a squirrel starts barking at me. It doesn’t take expensive arrows to handle that. These fit that bill. I got a dozen a year ago, still have all 12.

I got another dozen this year because why not.

Perfect low cost item. “Straight as an Arrow”!!! Like the female threads for versatility. Put on some safer tips when the kiddies are out with me, Actually helpful when feeding through a hole to locate a cable n the attic or basement!!! Super useful!!! Need to have a few of these low cost useful items around at all times.

Purchased a Wicked Ridge M-370 that came with 3 Pro Elite 400 arrows, I then purchased an additional package of 6. Total of 9 arrows. Of those 9 arrows only 3 will come close to grouping. The remaining arrows will not group nor will any individual arrow repeat its previous shot.

For a Ten Point proprietary arrow, I would expect much better quality control. What I have noticed is the hash mark/knotch/cockvane alignment is all over the place. Once again a definite quality control issue.

Way to much money for a product that underperforms. I have used field tips, practice broadhead tip and sacrificed a broadhead trying to get these arrows to fly straight.

I bought these to replace the original bolts that came with my Wicked Ridge Crossbow M-370. Though they do work for the bow they are not the same inserts as the original. The originals are plastic castle tower looking connection fitting, the new ones come with a metal press fitting.

After talking to Ten Point eventually all will come with the press fitting do to the plastic ones not handling the kinetic energy of the bows. These new ones will not work with TenPoint Alpha-Brite Lighted Nock System Fits Model: TenPoint SKU: 2703415.

I was told the new ones would only work with the Alpha-Blaze lighted Crossbow Nock.

I wrote a review last week still not posted. I was critical of the Alpha knocks had two fall off going to and from stand. Spoke with Shirley in CS. she explained they know there is an issue and will be fixing it sometime in future.

She agreed to send me replacement nocks for the ones that were lost. Also said to use small pc is scotch tape to hold nock in place. While I still think design is poor and should be pulled off the market until problem solved I do appreciate the strong CS support from Shirley.

To pay $70 for 3 bolts then have to scotch them on is a bit ridiculous. But again thanks to Shirley for her help. I am a huge fan of Ten Point hope they solve this problem soon.

I’m new to archery so it’s hard to give an informative review but what I can say about these arrows is I bought three other brands that were much cheaper. With the other arrows one, when I miss my target and hit a solid barrier the carbon would mushroom and explode.

All six of those are now gone. The second least expensive arrows, I can’t seem to have them fly straight and I keep doing repairs on them. The third cheap arrows are gone from falling apart. Two of the three cheap sets are gone.

I shot a couple of hundred times for each set before they were completely gone. With these Beman, they’ve hit solid objects, and are still good. Not one repair on any of the arrows, and they shoot accurate, so no funky flight to my target.

I bought these arrows in a package with my Stinger X Stiletto. I shot competitive target for a year and am now buying my own equipment. These arrow were a great start. I can’t give a judgement on how accurate they are because I’m still playing around with my form.

However, none of my groups are larger than my palm (which is a very small palm), so they seem to be pretty decent. Durability – I shot one arrow into the cement floor of the range on accident – just not paying attention – and the only damage was to the field point.

It was a little dinged on the tip but still flies perfectly and enters and exits the targets with no problem. I changed the tips to the Allen Company fat belly points with O-rings because I got tired of having to tighten them after every few shots.

Other than the screw-in points coming loose on occasion, these arrows have given me absolutely no problems. I will say that I am having to buy more because the pack only comes with 4 and I need at least 5 arrows to shoot competitively.

Bought last week but just shot today, tight grouping at 20 yards shooting into my worn out black hole target. Reason for two stars is that like 2nd shot with one of the arrows it flew fine and hit my target right where I was aiming which was great but when I got to my target to retreive my arrows the arrow had basically exploded in the middle with splinters hanging off.

I’m pulling 60 lbs with a 28. 5 draw length which fits in the described range for arrow so not sure what happened. As previously mentioned I hit center of target which is pretty weakened after a year of crossbow and compound shooting so it’s not a hard impact at all for what these are made for.

I probably just got a bad arrow or something.

I bought these shafts to make blunt flu flu arrows with, and they work great for that. The bare shafts ranged in weight from 352 to 536 grains, with most in the 500 range. Two were very light and one was very heavy.

When I opened the package, I found that the nock of one shaft had been crushed, but I super glued it back and it has been holding up fine (I included a pic). I would definitely recommend these shafts for inexpensive practice shafts or for kids.

Time will tell how durable they are, but they are good to go so far.

I was very surprised at the quality of these shafts. They are very straight. I have bought two dozen so far and most of them fall between 55 to 70 lbs. A few of these shafts are 90 lbs plus. This is pretty hard to believe because of the small diameter.

I recommend these to anyone that shoots traditional bows. I have been cutting and making my own bamboo arrows for over 30 years. Even though I enjoy making all of my arrows from scratch l’m going to fletch up a few of these and see if they fly as good as they look.

These Bamboo shafts are works of art by them selves. You will not be disappointed when you buy them. I have bought them most recently and will be doing so in the very near future. I can not say enough about the quality of these shafts.

So let’s start with the bad and end with the good. Upon initially seeing my new Gold Tip Traditional Carbon arrows I was quite excited to get them out and see how they performed. I ordered 6- fletched, cut to length arrows with inserts included.

Normally I would not have anyone else fletch my arrows but considering I was paying $81. 50 and being from 3 Rivers I was expecting quality. When I went through my first shot with each six I began noticing the flaws.

For instance, 1 arrow was nocked incorrectly with the coch feather backward. Not a huge deal but when shooting over and over, it becomes irritating to always have to keep an eye out for the one with a white coch feather and backward nock.

As I shot each arrow for the third time I watched as one of my fletchings fluttered down in front of my face, half being torn off and have remained on the shaft. I inspected my arrows and noticed that multiple fletchings were only partially glued on, most of which had the forward piece hanging out, waiting to be caught and torn.

So after buying 6 arrows and shooting them three times, I now have to work on three of them. Not that the work is hard or anything like that, it’s just the fact that I paid a steep price for mediocre work.

Now to end on a good note, these shafts themselves are straight, weighted evenly and appear to be tough. The ones I have that remain properly made shoot straight and leave my old wood shafts in the dust.

So ultimately the question is, would I recommend these to a friend. That depends on if and how Three Rivers corrects this issue and ensures that it does not happen in the future. I’m starting to hear more and more complaints about this same issue.

For reference I am shooting a 60# @ 28″ Pronghorn Custom longbow, 27. 5 draw and the 500’s with 125 gr points seem to be the correct match.

I’ve had my set of one dozen custom Gold Tip Traditional Arrows built by 3Rivers using their “arrow builder” for about sevens months now. I’ve shot them extensively and used them during a paper animal archery league at my sportsman’s club.

They’ve been used and abused; hit with other peoples arrows, shot into the wood target frame, trees, the dirt, ect. and fired thousands of times from my approx 50# recurve. They all still look and perform great! Not one broken arrow, not one lost fletching! I love this set of arrows so much I just bought another dozen in 400 spine for another bow of mine.

I don’t buy the pre-made ones because I prefer to have the wrap with pink and lime feathers so I can find them when I miss whatever small game I’m shooting at in the woods. If 3Rivers gives as much attention to building these as they do their custom orders though, then they are well worth the price.

These are terrible arrows. They fell apart the first time our Girl Scout archery troop used them. The fletches fell off and the nocks are too small and break. These girls have been shooting for years and know what they know what they are doing.

It was not about how they used them. So disappointing!.

I received green shafts with black and white vanes instead. of green vanes as pictured which would have matched my other competition arrows. the arrows were packed loose in a box and arrived scratched – I also ordered another shaft color and got different vane colors ( same shaft color but 5 vanes one color, one arrow with different vane colors ).

if you need a specific color be aware that it will be hit of miss. The arrows themselves are good – standard sized competition arrows for youth.

Well these arrows have not been in a bullseye yet. I just dont understand how such nice arrows keep missing the bullseye. I know its not the shooter because my son is best there ever was or is. So Im definitely not pleased with how the arrows keep avoiding the bullseye.

The company should not be allowed to make such arrows my son doesnt deserve to be embarrassed by how poorly these arrows perform. He deserves better he is so perfect.

I’ve had my Airbow for years and I have finally given up on their arrows. Out of these 6, 3 held a 2 1/2″ group. The other 3 stretched it to 4″. This was at 20 yards. I cut the three in half and I fletched the others 3 with 4 “heat” vanes.

The 3 I’ve done hold 1 1/2″. I’ve had my best luck with Easton aluminum arrows with Blazer vanes. I wrap hunter orange duct tape on the nock end so the arrow stays in place. I get 1″ group with these.

VERY EXSPENCIVE, BUT A MUST FOR THE PIONEER AIRBOW. NOT A CHEAP TOY BY ANY MEANS. THEY SEEM TO BE CONSTRUTED WELL AND FLY NICELY, BUT I HAVE NOTHING TO COMPARE THEM WITH. NO OTHER MANUFACTUER MAKES AN AIRBOW BOLT.

AT LEAST NONE THAT I KNOW OF!.

The hit inserts were installed flush with the front of the arrow shaft instead of in the the shaft 3/8ths of an inch or so. Field points and broadheads stick out way to far and only go as deep as the threads on them.

I have removed hit inserts out of fmj 5mm before and had no problem but these inserts have been epoxyed in and no method of removal has budged them. Real disappointed man seeing as I have wasted 130 dollars on arrows I cannot use or resale because of the improper installation on the inserts.

To be honest I wasn’t too happy when I first received them as they were. 204 diameter shafts and not the. 166’s that I am used to. After cutting them down I replaced the Blazer vanes with a wrap and TAC vanes (just my preference).

During the tuning process I found out that they tend to run higher than my lighter arrows, but they are right on track. They travel well and are very accurate once I adjusted my aim. I am glad that I kept them, and I will be looking to move to this size in the very near future.

to get the best performance with these use the steel inserts expensive arrows but the performance is incredible. the first time I shot these arrows a the archery store my arrow went completely through the target that had been stopping arrows from 70lb compounds.

I only draw 53 lbs. You are paying for small diameter arrows that are accurate as you can buy. they drift less in wind, penetrate notably better, and you can get a high weight forward of center. with the steel inserts and a 100 grain broadhead my arrows are 435 grains and have an 18 percent weight forward of center.

one time I missed my target and the arrow hit a cinderblock wall at 265 fps. it didn’t break. just stuck in the wall and still spun true after I unscrewed it. completely sold on these.

The first 1/2 dozen Victory RIP TKOs I built to test as potential 2021 deer arrows impressed me. Top shelf quality in straightness, flight and toughness. I have shot them hundreds of times in different targets and through dry deer scapula with the Shok TL insert/footer and they still spin true.

If you’re thinking about buying them, just do it. They are worth every penny.

these are genuine XX75 Genesis V2 1820 aluminum arrows! Approved for NASP junior tournament use. But also great for adults learning to master traditional archery skills at home!! Blue color is great and the vanes appear durable and sturdy.

Arrows fly great even with bow having 35# draw weight! Planning on buying more of these versatile arrows for future use! thanks to crews at llbean.

I have been using these arrows for many, many years. Have harvested deer with no problem every season. They fly true from my compound bow; and I shoot 3 fingers under the nock. I don’t mind if the fletch is red/white at times when I receive them; the deer I have harvested don’t seem to be bothered.

Sometimes I have received the arrows with the fletch orange/yellow. Again, the color of the fletch has never “spooked,” any deer I have harvested. These XX75’s have been manufactured by Easton for a very long time and I hope they never stop.

And they are made right here in the U. S. A. ! Made right every time; never had a bad batch or a bad arrow from a batch. I have gone through 4 bows over the years and each bow will always be nocked with the Easton XX75.

If it isn’t broke and it works for you, why change? I tried carbon from other companies and Easton too, these XX75’s just keep staying in my quiver.

Good arrows overall, they shoot quite well I use a 50lb recurve around 20 yards and they keep a nice straight flight. Only ran into a couple small problems with a knock falling out of a couple arrows and an insert trying to back out but a drop of super glue and 30 seconds of my time I was back to shooting no big deal.

You will need to buy tips and inserts for these arrows.

I bought these for practice. They fly very good. I’m very impressed. I’ve never had. wraps before. I like them. I have shot darn near every arrow brand there is and for the price of them you can’t beat it.

Ben bow hunting since 1987. I think I’ll throw some broad heads on and hunt turkey with them. I am very did pleased with the service I got when the kid cut my arrows. The Portland Maine store. He clearly did not know what he was doing since he cut them an inch and a half to long.

I’ll just use them for turkey.
