PING Tartar Horde

[Tartar Horde]

To get the best from a compound bow you really have to shoot Alloy/carbon arrows from it. This doesn't mean you can't shoot wooden shafts, just that wooden shafts will not perform as well as modern ones from a compound. If you are going to run a compound, and take advantage of the sighting/stabilisers etc you really have to use the shafts they were designed to use, this way you will get the best from the bow. So my advice would be to stock up on shafts for your compounds. To use Wooden shafts from a compound can be dangerous due to the fast initial acceleration of the string, especially if the "spine" of the shaft is too weak for the bow. The shaft will bend to such a degree it will snap, and then this happens!

You would have to consult a "spine chart" to see which wooden shafts to use and then start testing to see which ones give the best performance. From my point of view it's not worth it NR just buy Alloy shafts mate, and if you need to, get one or two at a time to save cost if you have to.
I've tried to be as honest as I can NR, but there are plenty of people on web who will say you can use Wooden shafts in a Compound, and YES YOU CAN, but you have to be very selective in shaft choice and knowledgeable enough to know what you are doing or terrible consequences could occur.
