Wooden arrows are prone to warping. Fiberglass arrows are brittle, but are more easily produced to uniform specifications. Aluminum shafts were a very popular high-performance choice in the later half of the 20th century due to their straightness, lighter weight, and subsequently higher speed and flatter trajectories, made from extruded tubing to exact diameter and thickness. Carbon arrows became popular in the 1990s and are very light, flying even faster and flatter than aluminum arrows.
Each arrow is marked with a number e.g. 2013 which means the arrow is 20/64th inch (7.94mm) diameter and 13/1000th inch (0.33mm) thick wall. The arrows are made 760mm long (30 inches) and have to be cut with a cutting tool to the draw length to suit each person.
The arrow will bend a certain amount as it is fired and this amount of bend is critical for correct flight and clearance from the bow. It is very important that the arrows are 'matched' to the archer and their Bows.
