Choosing an arrow shaft can be as easy or as complex as you want. But the first thing you need to know is what are you going to use the arrow for are you looking for hunting arrows or are you just going to target shoot? You also need to look at your draw length and draw weight so you choose the correct spine of your arrow. Once you have factored in all those variables look at arrow build such as do you want the arrow shaft fletched or will you be doing it yourself. So when you are ready to commit to purchasing those new FMJs or Carbon Express Maximas make sure you checkout all your variables first.
Just as with straightness the arrow shaft size affects many things on your arrow's journey to its target. Weight can be a huge factor with it comes to size the Easton 5mm arrows take more material to make as opposed to the new 4mm arrows because with fewer materials comes less weight. As with many other decisions you need to take into consideration what you plan on using that arrow. Once you figure out the use then you can figure out the diameter/size of the shaft and make an educated buy.
One of our biggest FAQs is the what is the benefit of arrow shaft size. The easiest answer is lessening the diameter of the shaft will reduce the potential for drift you see in windy conditions. This will allow for much more consistent and accurate patterns with your arrow.
