Great, economical target arrows.

This is a good set of carbon shaft arrows for youth bow/target practice. I bought for my wife to use with an inexpensive youth compound 25# bow. They work great, but required some setup: 1. The nocks are not glued in place, but are very tight in the shaft. You will need to align them for your bow setup. For me, this meant setting the index (white) fletching outward away from the arrow rest. You simply need to grasp the nock with a small pair of pliers, and grasp the arrow shaft near the nock and twist to the correct position. 2. The nocks were too loose on my bow's string. You can carefully soften the plastic over a candle flame and squeeze the tips together with pliers or your fingers (Be careful not to burn yourself.) If you get the plastic hot enough to burn yourself, it is hotter than it needs to be. But it is easy to get it too hot, ruin the nock, and burn yourself! Alternatively, you could replace the nocks with a smaller size and avoid the flames. I chose to play with fire and am very happy with the results. Please don't burn yourself, and if you are a minor, do this only with adult supervision. These arrows are light, well made, and fly very well with the 100 gr points and 3" fletching. The screw-in points meet flush with the shafts, so these arrows will not catch on your target when you go to extract them. This is a very important upgrade over the really cheap target arrows with glued on field points! Plus you could potentially change points and use these for small game. Enjoy.
