New to traditional archery. Would appreciate any suggestions
Hi Rodney,
Welcome to the trad family! If you have been shooting a compound you can probably use the same type of arrows, but you might need to buy new ones if the bow weight is much lighter than your compound.
If you are completely new to archery, I would suggest you start with carbon arrows. They come fairly well matched in weight and spine, they are very durable, and you can adjust the point weight fairly easily.
Here’s the article that prompted the poll, perhaps that will help you decide. Arrow Choices
Hardwood; ash or pignut hickory, or maple. Denser and more resilent than POC to me. And, I agree with Don, I understand the “benefits” of modern materials, I just don’t care. I love more the history and romance of wood.
