Title: Arrows for maddog pup.
Post by: Mryan2176 on November 18, 2020, 10:10:05 PM: Hey all,
My son is 4 years old. I ordered him a 36" mad dog pup longbow for Christmas. What arrows are your kids, grandkids etc. shooting? I'm not too concerned with spine, just want something light enough that will stick in a foam target. I thought about making him arrows out of 1/4 inch dowels, but not sure how that would work out.
Thanks, Matt.

My 5 year old went from went from bouncing arrows off 3D targets to having them stick in every time. They have also been quite durable.
Cheers

She watercolor painted them first which was a real thrill for her. She is 3.5 and at this point aiming is not much of a thing so dowels with 2" feathers that fly far are a hit. They dont even have proper points but she loves them. Best part, they cost about .50c a piece so I dont mind when they are sent to kingdom come while we are out stump shooting.
