Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting A quick question on arrows.

...and therefore quieter. A heavier arrow absorbs more of the bow's energy that would otherwise be converted to sound waves.

Thanks for the input, guys. I just got my new bow and went with carbon arrows and Twister vanes. They do shoot well, but I haven't tried them with broadheads yet.

Now I just have to get my bow quieted down. It seems to have a lot of twang @ release. Sounds like it may be the string.

Be sure to get the Tungsten points for those ProTours, they are only another $230/Dz........I shoot the Beman ICS Bowhunters for Trad and Compound. They shoot great, are tough as nails and are fairly inexpensive. I still like the AAE type vanes about 3" long from my compound. The profile is lower than most of the shorties and I get better clearance. I also put the UniBusings in them to avoid splits in the nock end of the arrow from tight groups or at 3D's.

bruinruin,

The carbon arrows and short vanes do work very well in most modern bows today...but don't be afraid to experiment a bit to find the right arrow broadhead combination for your particular setup.

The heavier your arrow, the quieter and more efficient it will make your bow...given that your bow is properly tuned in the first place. And once you add fixed blade broadheads to the mix you may find that you'll have to retune your bow some to make the broadheads to fly properly. (the main reason why so many archers are going to mechanical broadheads...less tuning)

Twang at release could be a number of factors.
What is our bow ssetup and what arrows are you using?
