So i just bought my first bow the other day. its a pse nova with a 29 draw length and is 65 pound pull. it came used but in great shape. the only question i have is it came with 10 other arrows that are ok but not great, should i buy a brand new set of arrows or buy a repair kit? and if brand new arrows what is your suggestions on arrows? any other information for a beginner is appreciated wink


thanks



The only reason i work, is so that i could afford to hunt.

I have gold tips, but i really want the Easton ST Axis 340's. Beman MFX's will be my next arrows though. Same thing as easton's but cheaper.

For your set up the ST Epic 400's would be a good choice, 28" length. Lots of other good ones out there, too. Good luck.

The above responses offer little help. What kind of arrows are they, and what is wrong with them that needs repair?

it would be cheaper to just refletch them. The shafts are prob just fine. Where are you located?

NAP and others make a crest with the fletchings attached that all you have to do is put in hot water and they shrink tight to your arrow that are very easy to put on.

FIRST off you need to take them and grab the ends and bend them an listen to see if they are making craking noises, if they are finish breaking them. if not then you can either have them fletched or you can by quick fletches.But if you by quick fletches depending on what part of New Mexico you hunt if it gets to cold those fletches can freeze and break on you cause they hold moisture from when you dipped them in water
