hi all, I was having a play with arrows last night at indoor shooting and was asking some questions about arrows of tony and micky. I have a nice setup where I just change plungers for my indoor and outdoor arrows that works quite well,
it seems that the general idea that is accepted in the archery world is that you should have different arrows for indoors and for outdoors, I can understand that, but what I dont seem to understand is that the indoor and outdoor arrows that most people are using dont vary much, I thought that indoor arrows should be much greater diameter than outdoor arrows, but it seems that is not the case from what I have seen from our shooters, am I missing something here? should I use "fat" arrows for indoors and "skinny" arrows for outdoors? or just use the same for in and our doors?

People use "fat"indoor arrows for a number of reasons (but it needs to be remembered that there are rules as to the maximum diameter): 1 - It greatly improves the chance of cutting the line for the next highest scoring value (although it does not guarantee - a bad shot will still be punished) 2 - They are heavier and as a result are "ëasier"to shoot accurately 3 - They are still (X7's anyway) very high quality arrows 4 - There are no issues with wind drift, making distance etc so can use them no problems
I don't see the point in having one set of skinny arrows for indoors and another set of skinny arrows for outdoors. there is no advantage there.
The ability of thick arrows to improve your scores also depends on your ability and your division. They provide huge benefit to compounds in particular because often 1-2 points indoors seperates 1st from 10th.
