Arrow shaft selection

Postby Tordek » Mon Feb 17, 2014 3:31 pm

Hey guys im designing a new arrow tech and im wondering what is the most popular size of arrow shafts out there for archers right now. If you have a specific brand and model or if you just want to throw the overall length and outer diameter measurements that would be greatly helpful.

Are you the same guy from Dag thats working on the 3d print molds for tips of arrows? and If not you as well as others should check it out seems like it could be a realitve big break through for foam smiths. and i believe mine are 1/4 inch but i will measure a couple of them for u in the next couple of days

Well, I'm a Bel guy from SoCal, but im an engineering student at a university with a 3D printer. I was going to print a few up and see how they work. Hadn't heard anyone else working on it as of yet, but everyone loves the idea.

I use Easton Carbon Storm arrows, they're pretty basic for carbon arrows. For heads I order Fitz Caliston kits without the foam tennis ball head, and get some V90 cylinders from a local shop here in Vegas.

I think its a great idea
my arrows are 1/4 Inch maybe even smaller its hard to get an exact read on it, but I think that should do it and could be liquid nailed on Or if you put rivets so u could * it in like an arrow head, then tape IDk you got a lot of options Good luck keep us updated

The initial prototype is complete were moving onto testing now. I'm hoping to have a finalized product ready to sell by chaos wars this year. I'm also working with another fighter to have anti bounce back arrows.
