Bamboo arrows are somewhat more break-resistant than wooden arrows and have a longer lifespan. They also have a naturally advantageous conical shape. When used correctly, this can be used as a natural taper. This places the arrow's center of gravity (FOC) further forward, making the arrow fly more stably in the air.
Above all, bamboo is a rapidly renewable raw material.
Where can you get bamboo arrows?
Many Austrian dealers now offer good bamboo arrows. Be careful when ordering online. Many dealers (?) from Asia and the Arab world offer their products online. Customs fees and/or non-delivery often cost more than the shafts are worth.
The spine value of the bamboo arrow must also match the characteristics of the bow in order to achieve good shooting behavior.
Bamboo arrow "De Luxe"
Traditional bamboo arrows with horn nocks and/or horn tips (buffalo horn) and real pheasant feathers are very popular with many bamboo arrow archers – they also look very elegant. 😉
Conclusion
Bamboo arrows are a durable alternative to wooden arrows. Only inspect/touch good quality material at a retailer.
