Buying fiber arrows (carbon or glass)

[Niann]

Hello guys,

I'm interested in carbon fiber and fiberglass arrows.
28 to 32'', with screw-on tips for a 30~50 lbs bow.

Feathers can be natural or synthetic, doesn't really matter.

Hoyt, Bear and others like those will be given preference.

Include the price of shipping to Brazil at 97010-493 (CEP/ZIP), lets suppose I will buy 1/2 dozen arrows.
Thanks.

Nobody?

If you want to get proper arrows you will have to give some more info. Buying arrows is not just "oh look, these look pretty", it comes down to very precise bow specs.

Take a look at easton shaft selector to give you some idea.

I know that mate...
That why I gave the info I did...
It's a 30 lbs recurve with a 28'' draw, like informed.
The tips need to be 100 grain -.-'

Why not buy them there? Shipping to South America? That probably costs as much as the arrows themselves. Especially since they'll likely be used if you buy them on a forum, why not just find a store somewhere near you?

You would be amazed the taxes down here...
Most of the time its easier to pay for a product outside and pay shipping.
The brazilian government made taxing the country an art.

Let's say someone's got a lightly used set of arrows for $40, $60 new. According to a shipping calc, US to brazil 2 pounds costs $53.73. Would they really charge you $33.73 on a set of $60 arrows?

Mate, I'm going to give you an example.

That is much appreciated my friend.
But isn't basspro one, if not the one, most expensive digital hunting shop on the internet?
If not, can you please give me some tips? I want carbon fiber or fiberglass arrows for a 100 grain broadhead, I use a 30 lbs recurve with a 28'' draw.
I took a look at the shop, there is gold tip, which a lot of people like, but I haven't used 'em myself.
My experience with aluminium arrows is not the greatest, so I would prefer to use fiber arrows from now on, even some old school wood ones as well.

Thanks for the help.

I have many other locations to purchase from. I will contact you later today with some general pricing and my advice.

Same situation here, sucks to live outside US if you are into weapons .

That is probably because you had either the wrong arrows or incorrectly tuned bow. Each time you switch to different arrows your bow should be re-retuned. Aluminium arrows will behave just as well if not better than carbon fiber. Aluminium will also last you longer (carbon fiber wears out relatively quickly), and can be straightened when bent (carbon fiber can't). Carbon fiber is also suspectible to climate change and can crack, so it needs to be regularly checked for that.

Whatever arrows you buy, I'd advice you input your bow characteristics into the easton shaft selector, to get you some idea of exactly what kind of an arrow you need. Also easton arrows are excellent so I would stick to those (but that's just my personal preference).

edit: 100 grain tip is massive and I don't see a way to make that work with a 30 lb bow.

100 grain is not that massive o.O
Most target tips are 100 grains.
And yes, I've been using the shaft selector.

Might be the cheap aluminium arrows I used, but I'd prefer to try something new for now.

[Jenger]

Yeah im not sure whats up with the Brazilian govt. I used to work at best buy up here in new jersey and this customer would always come in spending a ton of money on electronics, etc and I asked him one day what do you do with all of this and he said he ships it to brazil and can turn a profit somehow from buying retail here.

Ah, sorry, you're right. Don't know why I thought 100 grains is heavy - had to go check what I have
Any 500-spine arrow should probably work fine, just don't forget to re-tune your bow

Yeah mate, that is quite common.
Too bad people actually need to do that.

Yeah, 500 to 600 is the perfect spine I would say.
I've been looking into hoyt and pse arrows mostly, they are both pretty good.
But gold tip would also do fine as well I suppose.

Any of you guys would be willing to ship stuff to me at a decent rate?
Thanks.
