How to choose arrows for compound bow

The choice of arrow is divided into two steps: first, determine the weight of the arrow you need to use, which determines the type of arrow handle you need; Secondly, choose the correct shaft hardness to match your drawing distance and arrow length.

The organization of archery equipment manufacturers (AMO) suggested that the minimum arrow weight index should be no less than 6 grains per pound of pulling force, that is, the bow with 70 pounds of pulling force should not be less than 420 grains. According to the current standard, the standard hunting arrow should be 8- 10 grain/pound.

Attention should be paid to when using compound bow:

1, if there is no arrow, you can't open the bow, the service life of the bow piece and bowstring will be shortened, and even the bow piece and bowstring will be permanently damaged, and the bowstring will be separated from the pulley. And may cause safety hazards to the shooter himself and others.

2. Apply special bowstring wax regularly. Bowstring, including main chord and auxiliary chord (also called cable), should be waxed regularly to promote the lubrication between bowstring materials and fibers and prolong the life of bowstring cable. The method of waxing is to clean the dirt on the bowstring rope with a dry cloth first, then wipe the bowstring wax evenly on the string, and then wipe the bowstring quickly with a dry cloth. It is recommended to use 1 0-2 weeks after the peak.

3. Replace chords and cables regularly: the life of chords and cables of composite bows is shorter than that of bow pieces. Bows and other equipment should be regularly repaired and maintained, and defective equipment should be repaired and replaced in time before use.
