How far will these arrows go? I'm setting this up in our backyard and I'm concerned about stray arrows going into the neighbors yard or into street.

Take a few precautions and you'll probably be fine. Try a sheet of plywood behind the target for stray arrows. Kids shoot poorly at first so start close like 10 ft from the target at most until they can consistently hit the target and build control of the bow and arrow. Obviously don't shoot in a direction toward people or valuables. Also look into a few better quality arrows which will shoot better. Just always use practice tips.

At full poundage arrows could travel 75 yards if shot upwards. We use a backstop of hay bales the size of a sheet of plywood and never had arrows leave the yard. Adult supervision is required!

I use these for firearm practice with cardboard inserts. Arrows would pass through and possibly hurt someone or get lost.

probably, though I would keep the distance within 5 yds or so. After that, any amount of wind will throw the shot off. Why would you want to shoot small birds anyways? Killing anything that isn't small game for fun is pretty messed up

I have 3 of thses at my workbench. While very well built, they do have small (about 1/16") holes between each LED leading to the inside. My concern would be extremely fowl weather, or spraying them with a water hose. I wouldn't use these here on the Front Range outdoors. But in So.Cal. on a patio with no fear of kids having a water balloon fight? You might be OK.

I have a 65 lb compound bow and my arrows penetrate several inches sometimes 6 or more. It should work fine at 35 lbs, just make sure your target points match the diameter of your arrow shafts. If the points are wider than the arrow they will be difficult to remove. And if they are smaller than the arrow shaft they may not penetrate well. Good luck

The arrows will go through the cardboard with no problem. The only thing you could do is put one of those sq. foam shooting blocks behind the cardboard to stop your arrows. You could tie it on some how. good luck

Well I have not killed anything , but targets with it as of yet. Although with 150# pull I would say it would bring down any of those.Just make sure you get a cocking device of some sort unless you have really strong arms and shoulders. I set up a really thick target and it just sailed through it. So if you get it be careful this bow is a killer.

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!

I used bamboo posts ten feet apart that have survived into their second year with no issues. Tying white flags at waist height will look like a deer fleeing so that helps repel them and you will avoid any bucks getting tangled up with their antlers. The deer will hit anything they can by us but this kept them completely out of our garden. It is fairly rigid and will not really sag if your posts don't bend. I did line the bottom foot with chicken wire as groundhogs and rabbits will bite through.

Too many variables to answer this question. My backyard is pretty big, so my neighbors wouldn't care if I were firing a potato gun. You may have a different terrain than I do (or a different relationship to your neighbors for that matter) my 1/2 acre lot is mostly wooded and hilly. Sound echos and absorbs differently with different natural features. Ask your neighbors if the sound it makes bothers them- that's the only way to know for sure.

Not able to really answer as I have not tried any of these out side.....I am a little skeptical of using them outside since I have a lot of trees and the constant movement and on/off I think would be too much for the unit in my yard.....might be a different story where you did not have anything but an occasional movement at night.....

I used SA Sports Ambush Crossbow 150lb draw. I am a novice hunter. These arrows did the job for me. They survived over a dozen shots target/sighting in and even the 6-7'' pine tree trunk that it hit after passing through my first deer ever last month.

I would suggest poles. Make sure the poles are set sturdy enough to stand up to being pushed on. Set about 2.5 to 3 feet from tree, so deer can not reach them.

I am not a professional archer and do not know the answer to your question. Would recommend you ask Genesis ll, the maker of the arrow, sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

28" inch arrows seems to work best, I wouldn't go less than that. 30" might be good except more of the shaft would stick out the end. In Competition only the 28" would be used anyways. These bows are used and recognized by most all school archery classes and competitions. They like 28". hope this helps you.

well that would really depend upon the draw length ? they are real fine arrows I think ! in look and performance . I recommend them and I will buy more ! also I really like the way the company does business and responds to questions . they are shipped from overseas so expect a little wait ! :)

I guess you could use a spreader - I just broadcasted it by hand. Doesn't take a lot...and the deer have been avoiding our gardens!!! YEAH!!
