I was til I gave it some thought, they have to be safe first and formost,then consistant, then durable, then accurate, so paying 3 to 5 quid per decent arrow tailored to your own size and type of bow is not so bad, The target arrows I am playing with are about £12 to £15 for 5 which again is not bad. I just dont know why compound bows are not supposed to fire ordinary arrows?

The pricier arrows are the ultra light carbon arrows used by compound bow hunters and the heavy duty aluminium arrows with screw in points that you can fit broadheads to.
