How to Choose the Right Arrows for Your Bow — India 2026
Why Arrow Selection Matters
Most beginner archers in India focus entirely on choosing the right bow — and forget that the arrow is equally important. A mismatched arrow will fly inconsistently, hurt your groupings, and can even damage your bow. In 2026, with a wider range of arrows available in India than ever before, this guide will help you choose exactly right — using real products available at ArcheryAsia.com.
The Most Important Factor: Arrow Spine
Arrow spine refers to the stiffness of the arrow shaft. An arrow that is too flexible or too stiff for your bow's draw weight will veer off target. The general rule is simple: higher draw weight = stiffer spine (lower spine number).
- Draw weight 20–30 lbs → Spine 1000–800
- Draw weight 30–40 lbs → Spine 700–600
- Draw weight 40–50 lbs → Spine 500–400
- Draw weight 50–60 lbs → Spine 340–300
- Draw weight 60–70 lbs → Spine 260–200
Always consult an arrow spine chart and factor in your arrow length — longer arrows need stiffer spines.
Carbon Arrows — The Competition Choice
Carbon arrows are the choice of India's top competitive archers including Aditi Swami and Jyothi Surekha Vennam. They are lighter, faster, and more consistent in spine tolerance than aluminum arrows.
At ArcheryAsia we stock two outstanding carbon arrow options:

The Easton Carbon Inspire (₹7,000 for 12 shafts) is available in .570 and .750 spine and is an excellent all-round carbon arrow for intermediate archers. It is a superb choice for club training and regional competition, offering consistent spine tolerance and durable carbon construction at a competitive price. If you need a larger quantity, we also stock the Easton Carbon Inspire 750 spine in a 72-shaft pack (₹55,000) — ideal for clubs and teams.

Important safety note: Always inspect carbon arrows for cracks before shooting. A cracked carbon shaft can shatter dangerously on release.
Arrow Nocks — Getting the Right Fit
The nock is the small plastic clip at the back of your arrow that attaches to the bowstring. Using the wrong nock size causes inconsistent arrow flight and can damage your string.
At ArcheryAsia we stock two sizes of Easton Pin Nocks:
- Easton Pin Nock Large .98 — ₹1,546 (12-pack) — for larger diameter shafts
- Easton Pin Nock Small .88 — ₹1,300 (12-pack) — for smaller diameter shafts including the X10

Arrow Vanes — Spin Wing for Competition
The vane (or fletch) stabilises your arrow in flight. For competition archers using a recurve bow, the Spin Wing Spin Vane 2 inch (₹1,500 for 50 vanes) is the top choice. Used by elite archers worldwide, Spin Wing vanes create a spin on the arrow that dramatically improves accuracy at long distances. Available in left and right hand.

Pin Adaptors for X10 Arrows
If you are using Easton X10 arrows with pin nocks, you will need the Easton Pin Adaptor X10 (₹1,300 for 12 pieces). These precision adaptors ensure a perfect, secure fit between the pin nock and the X10 shaft — essential for consistent arrow flight at the highest level.
