Firstly, here's an exploded view of an arrow with a steel point, so you know all the parts it is made up of.
RECURVE BOW You can use a variety of arrows with a recurve bow. To DISCOVER, archery go for 2 types of DISCOVERY arrows (suction cup/ plastic target and steel point/foam target). For doing archery more REGULARLY, opt for CLUB arrows (steel point only / foam target).

To choose the right arrow size, we will ask you beforehand to "determine your draw length". The draw length corresponds to the distance between the bow grip and your hand- (arrow nocking point on bowstring), when in shooting stance. Everybody has a specific draw length, which changes with age and height. It is measured in inches (") = 2.54 cm
STIFFNESS An arrow's stiffness is also called SPINE, and it varies according to the draw weight of the bow used (from 400 to 1 200 and over). The greater the bow's draw weight, the stiffer the arrow must be.
STRAIGHTNESS The straightness is it's capacity to stay straight.
