This would be for making flight arrows, these are arrows made specifically for shooting the maximum distance. This is a rather niche application and is for wooden bows which I make, (not the modern hi tech bows which shoot much further) My current personal best is 341 yards with a wooden arrow and I expect a carefully selected and made carbon fibre arrow would get me another 50 yards! I'm hoping to break the 1/4 mile eventually :-) Thanks Del
