So I’m wanting to make some takedown arrows for emergency purposes. I’ve seen 2 and 3 piece takedown arrows. 2 seems easier...but longer pieces for transport. 3 are easier to transport, but to me seem less stable (due to the 2 joints). My question is: which is better/worse for arrow flight? Some people have mentioned 3 piece takedown arrows retain the FOC better...but I’d like some hard evidence/experience to back it up. I’ll be shooting a 40 lb longbow.

Your going to build an arrow so incapable of accuracy that foc isn't even an equation to throw in the discussion
I wouldn't build or shoot one,.... but few joints the better..... but this is novelty at best so build whatever fits in "the bag" |

Yeah, I’m not going to be using them for everyday purposes, just to have at the ready for portability should I need it, but I’d still want them to be as accurate as possible in a hunting scenario, especially for smaller game

If they’re completely useless, or completely inaccurate, why are they sold as takedown arrows?

Build a few and shoot them. That is the only way to find out. Just like building a good arrow for a typical set up.

What are you packing them in that they need to be so short? My 28 inch arrows carry fine on my pack or in a tube for truck conveyance.
But get some of each and see what they do; I doubt you will get an answer to this on this site, or any real bowhunting site for that matter. As survival site may be a better place to get this information. |
