15 inch or longer if you want. I suggest the cheap aluminum ones for target practice just use the tips on them. If your going to use the bow to hunt then I guess I would use the expensive tips and arrows. I just use mine for target shooting unless your Bill Gates you'll go broke hawing the top of the line bolts and heads.

You can buy extra arrows in packs of 3 - I do this very frequently. The tips are a durable metal. Just don't shoot into straight wood or anywhere with rocks or something, because they will dent the tips inward. (I speak from experience.) I suggest purchasing paper targets and staking them onto bales of hay to shoot into.

That bow has interchangeable limbs at a reasonable price. He might start out at 35# and develop his bow strength, then get some 45# later. You can probably sell the first set of limbs easily. If you have not yet purchased this bow, you might consider the Samick Sage. I have both, and the Sage is much smoother.

I've used both the 30" shiny black (brand) carbon arrows and the shiny black (brand) premium wood arrows with turkey feathers. Both work fine. I've lost the points of several of the wood arrows in my heavy duty target, but they still pierce the target fine with this bow. If they don't, ten seconds with a sander or even a decent pencil sharpener and you have a perfectly servicable point.

The bow I bought come with 3 safety glass arrows, arrow rest,sights and draw modules. The quality is ok for a beginner, but once they become proficient you may want to upgrade to better quality accessories . The only thing to watch for is if the seller has broken it up instead of selling as a kit.

Hi Melissa. I would not personally recommend this target for arrow shooting simply because of the problem that you have anticipated. If you are looking for a good quality archery target, I would recommend the Morrell Supreme Range Archery Target which is sold at Dick's sporting goods, which are presently $119.99. It may be more money but this target will stop arrows every time and has the FITA target face for regulation archery practice. I use the P40 stand for target shooting with handguns and the AR. It is a simple tube design which is easy to assemble and lightweight. This target is more suited to shooting with firearms rather than for archery. In fact the large, slow weight of an arrow might actually knock the target over when shooting at it.

i have found that the 20" moon nocked arrows work the best. generally the carbon express ones, but you can shoot whatever size you would like. as far as broadheads are concerned as well (to go along with the 20" arrow) i never go above 100-125 grain broadheads. keeps the balance really good for distance with the 100 grain broadheads.

I use 30" carbon arrows with feathers, and they fly really well. Don't get plastic vaned arrows. That bow amazes the onlookers at the range, making them wonder why they spent $1500 on a compound bow!

Age 16, girl, beginner - perfect bow! Get some extra arrows as they are easily lost and are not very stout to start with. Best wishes! Bruce. (don't discard the sight that is embedded in the cardboard that is entangled within the bow strings.) Throw nothing away until you have used the sight! :-) BTW this is a serious bow, you could kill with this (with broadheads - a deer)

They come with 28" fiberglass target point arrows, which are okay but you would probably want to buy more of the same that come in a 3-pack. I personally would recommend buying some 30" carbon arrows. I find that the 28" arrows when pulled to full extension falls a little behind on the arrow rest. You want the head of the arrow overlapping the arrow rest at least 2 inches. Also the carbon arrows fly a lot better. They don't bend and flail when shot as the fiberglass arrows do.

I don't have a target stand for mind. I set it on the ground with something behind it. This bag is built to not have the arrows go through so whatever you put behind it is usually safe. My bow shoots at 360 fps so that is on the upper end for bolt speed. This target is not meant for broadheads.

I would consult the manufacturers guide for the xbow. I do know you are putting yourself in danger of at least an inaccurate shot if you use a bolt that is not the correct length and weight for your bow. I have heard it can damage the bolt over time also and firing a damaged bolt can result in it sharrtering. I just imagine shards of carbon going in my face or hands and that is enough for me not to risk it. What xbow did you get???

The kit comes with NASP-standard Genesis 1820 30" alloy arrows (made by Easton Archery). They are very fine arrows :-). You can get those at Dick's Sporting Goods, usually (they don't seem to be in stock via Amazon right now). But any good target arrow of 30" would be fine.

At the target range? No. Deer hunting? Yes. Hip quivers are for target shooting. For deer hunting, most use a quiver that mounts to the bow.

My daughter uses youth arrows that just have round dull tips. Field Logic says you can use any tip but for that block not to use a bow with more than a 40lb draw. I would suggest if they are new to get arrows that are target arrows because they will miss and hit other things.

yes any arrow will work. arrows are rated by pull weight and the less expensive arrows are btw 25 and 30 pounds. this bow has a max pull weight around 20lb.
