Pawn shop had a lil bucket of arrows none seems to want , first time they actually haggled . Got 16 for $12 figured if anything it would be neat to refletch them and just see how they all shoot different and the like. Anyhow got to group them today

If anything the six 400's made it worth the $12

I'd check to see how straight they are. Those aluminum arrows don't stay straight worth a darn. If they aren't straight there isn't anything intresting about shooting them.

Good “shoot aways” better than wasting an expensive setup on some vermin.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I thought I was going to see some old arrows. You know, Port Orford cedar shafts, turkey feather fletching, and those cool, old school, carbon steel broadheads.

No bargain if they don’t fly with a fixed broadhead

From experience if they aren't bent to awfully bad they can be straightened with an inexpensive arrow straightener and fly good enough for competition arrows

This is what I thought too, grew up shooting dad's left over wood arrows. Saw a dozen wood arrows at a flea market couple years ago still boxed up, been kicking myself for not getting em.

so just bright fletching and you send it and let it stick in the fairway , then a target at the green , that would be way more interesting than actual golf

that gets you thinking how heavy a tip you could put on an arrow for max ordinate
