The shaft is the arrow without its point, fletching, and nock. It is the fundamental part of the arrow, and is basically made of wood, bamboo, or reads. While the more modern ones are made from carbon fiber and aluminum.

Arrow shafts also serve a significant role, since it is one factor to consider in determining the weight and length of the arrow that affects its speed and performance once it is shot.

The stiffness of the shaft, or more commonly known as its spine, refers to how great or little is the tendency of the shaft to bend. Although it does not necessarily mean that the stiffer the shaft (meaning less flexible), the better; since there are other factors to consider in choosing the correct shaft stiffness.

The behavior of an arrow differs when it is released with fingers, or when shot with a use of a release aid. To be able to have a good flight, it is important to know that your arrow shafts perfectly match with your bow, not to mention your targeting style, so as to perform your desired shooting method.

Arrow points are usually a separate piece attached at the front end of the arrow shaft, where it serves to be the most functional part of the arrow.

During the earlier era, there had been a lot or archeological studies researched about the arrowhead (or arrow point) during the Stone Age period. These artifacts are usually made from bones, stones, as well as metal objects, being shaped in a triangular manner having a sharp point at the end. These arrowheads are placed at the end of a wood or any similar material to serve as their arrow, are more likely to be used for hunting in the wild.

An arrow nock is the notch attached at the rear of the arrow and is primarily designed to fit around the bowstring and to hold the arrow in place while it is positioned for release. With a nock, the arrow will be steadier and will not slip off once it is getting readied for a shot.

Nocks can be seen of different forms. It can be a simple cut found at the end of the arrow, or it can be a separate piece attached to the arrow shaft, next to the fletching.

Nock is usually made from plastic and is glued at the rear of the arrow. It can also be made out of wood or even horn. Nocks come in different sizes, depending on the type of arrow, like its diameter or thickness.

Nocks also serve important roles so that the arrow is released properly by the archer. As earlier mentioned, its main purpose is to keep the arrow in place as it is prepared for a shot. Also, it is important for an archer to know how to tune the nocks of their arrows so it will be properly released, and the arrow will not likely to hit the bow or arrow rest once it is released, thus causing some flaws with the archer's shot.

The archer can tune his arrow nocks manually in order to minimize the problem. Although with this modern technology, certain inventions have come up of tools and archery nock equipments designed to tune your arrow nocks in a more precise method.

Here in our shop, we offer several kinds of arrow nocks suited for different types of arrows. Depending on your preference, we have here different nocks with a variety of colors, sizes, styles, materials, and packages for you to choose from.

In simple and plain explanation, to fletch is to glue a feather or vane to an arrow shaft. The art of fletching is done in order to aerodynamically stabilize the arrow on its flight once it is released. These fletches are attached at the butt-end of the projectile, to stabilize its flight, despite of air resistance. Also, some fletches have something to do and highly affects the spin of the arrow once it is released.
 

The one whose job is to fletch is called a fletcher. Although a fletcher's work is not limited to that, since he is the one who generally builds and creates arrows from scratch. During the medieval era where bows and arrows are still the main weapons of war, fletcher serves a very important role since their creations are the main advantage and means towards a tribe’s victory.

Broadhead arrows are perfect for hunting. Since the most powerful and functional part of the arrow is its tip, broadhead tipped arrows are most commonly used both by archers and hunters for bowhunting purposes.

These broadhead arrows are not commonly used for target practices and in usual round targets, since its impact is great and can tear or destroy the whole target. It is also deadly, and the archer, or anyone who handles it, should be extra careful because the broadheads' blades are extremely fatal and dangerous if misused.

These triangular shaped cutting blades, which is a basic characteristic of a broadhead arrow, come in many variants.

What's more commonly available in the market are the rocket types of broadheads, and if you know how a rocket looks like (and I'm sure you do), you'll probably can imagine how it looks like and with its structure, how much damage it can cause to its prey. There are also broadheads that are more suited for wood arrow shafts. They look very primitive, having flat sharpened tips (just like how the medieval spears look like), and they are great to have especially this hunting season. There are also broadheads available in our shop in which its blades are interchangeable varying on tips, weights, and cutting diameters. Aside from those, there are also razor sharp broadheads that are sold in our shop which are perfect for crossbow hunting.

The arrow is the projectile that is shot by using a bow. Most arrows are made from aluminum, fiberglass, wood, and carbon graphite.

The arrow has basically five parts: the arrowhead, the shaft, crest, fletching, and nock.

The arrowhead is the most functional part of an arrow, in which this is the part that causes the damage to a target. It is a pointed projectile attached at the front end of the shaft. The sizes and structures of arrowheads vary depending on its purpose of use. There are arrowheads specially designed for target shooting, hunting, for wars (during the medieval ages), and other related purposes.

The shaft is also one of the most important parts of an arrow, since the other elements such as the arrowheads, fletching, and nock are attached to it. A modern shaft is usually made from aluminum, fiberglass or wood; while the traditional ones are made from bamboo or reeds. The length of an arrow shaft used for archery more or less ranges from 80 to 90 cm.

The crest is the usual part where you can see the markings that indicate the thickness of the shaft. Cresting is a practice done for many years already in order to personalize your arrow shafts.

Fletchings are usually made from feathers or plastic material and is found at the other end of the shaft, opposite to the arrowhead. The main purpose of the fletching is to stabilize the flight of the arrow once it is released.

The nock is placed at the far end of the arrow, next to the fletching. Nocks come in different sizes and shapes, depending on the bow and arrow. Its purpose is to clip the arrow unto the bowstring, so that the archer can hold the arrow properly while setting it up to a target.
