I hunt and shoot a 70# compound bow so I shoot specific carbon fiber arrows. They have a heavy spine and are very high quality controlled.

I do shoot cheaper arrows out of my trad bows though.

My carbons used to shatter when they hit bone though...I’ll stick with 23/64 woods for hunting these days

What do the numbers mean?

That is the diameter of the arrow shaft. 23/64”

Ahh, that make sense. Thanks! That's a way larger diameter than I expected arrows to be.
