On the other hand, target shooters will prefer the lightest arrow possible providing the flattest flight trajectory. Hunters want an arrow that provides deep penetration and acceptable KE, thus a heavier arrow is a likely candidate. Different uses and applications require different arrows. But what goes into selecting the right arrow?īuilding any arrow is a balance of speed, penetration and kinetic energy (KE). The wrong arrow means less than optimal performance, and worse, is dangerous. The right arrow means harnessing the most energy possible from the string ensuring proper flight right off the rail.
