ARROWS & TENDONS

Arrows and Sinews for Archery

Welcome to Shogun! With us, you will find a wide range of arrows and sinews that are essential for every archer. Whether you go hunting, shoot competitively or just archery for fun, we have the right equipment to optimise your shooting experience.

Different Types of Arrows

At Shogun, we offer a wide range of arrows, each designed for specific purposes and shooting situations:

Wooden Arrows: Traditional and aesthetically pleasing, these arrows are perfect for historical and traditional archers. They have an authentic look and are relatively inexpensive. However, they can be inconsistent in weight and straight line and are more sensitive to weather conditions.
Aluminium Arrows: These arrows are lightweight and have a consistent straight flight, making them ideal for precision shooting. They are less sensitive to weather conditions, but can be more expensive and are more prone to bending on strong impact.
Carbon Arrows: Known for their durability and speed. Carbon arrows are ideal for both hunting and competition because of their lightweight, high speed and precision. They are more expensive and can splinter when broken.
Fibreglass Arrows: Offering a good balance between price and performance, these arrows are ideal for beginners. They are sturdy and cheap, but heavier than aluminium and carbon arrows, which can result in a slower flight.

Different Types of Tendons

Sinews are a crucial part of your bow and arrow and have a big impact on your shooting performance. At Shogun, we offer different types of tendons:

Dacron Tendons: These tendons are durable and offer a good balance between strength and stretch. Ideal for traditional bows and beginner bows.
Fast Flight Tendons: These tendons are made from modern materials that offer minimal stretch and transmit maximum speed and power. Ideal for recurve and compound bows.
Flämische Pezen: Traditionally braided tendons that are both stylish and functional. Perfect for traditional and longbows.

Accessories for arrows and tendons

In addition to arrows and tendons, we also offer a wide range of accessories to enhance your archery experience:

Peep Sights: Small tools that mount in the tendon to help align your sights.
Arrow Rests: Keeps the arrow stable and increases accuracy.
Nocking Points: These ensure consistent placement of the arrow on the tendon, increasing accuracy.
Bow Stringer: Essential for safely and correctly stringing your bow.

Which Arrow Materials Are Best?

Archers can choose from several materials for their arrows, each with unique properties and advantages. Here is an overview of the most commonly used arrow materials and their characteristics:

Wooden Arrows: These arrows have an authentic look and are relatively inexpensive. They are easy to work with, but can be inconsistent in weight and straight line. They are also more sensitive to weather conditions and can break on impact.
Aluminium Arrows: These arrows are lightweight and have a consistent straight flight. They are less sensitive to weather conditions, but can be more expensive and are more prone to bending on strong impact.
Carbon Arrows: Carbon arrows are very durable, lightweight and offer consistent flight. They are ideal for both hunting and competition because of their speed and precision, but they are more expensive and can splinter when broken.
Fibreglass Arrows: These arrows offer a good balance between price and performance, and are ideal for beginners. They are sturdy and cheap, but heavier than aluminium and carbon arrows, which can result in a slower flight.

What to look out for when choosing arrows and sinews

When choosing the right arrows and sinews, there are some important factors to keep in mind:

Material: The material of the arrow and tendon significantly affects performance. Choose the right material based on your bow type and shooting style.
Length and Weight: The length and weight of the arrow should suit your bow and your physical attributes. An arrow that is too heavy or too light can affect accuracy and range.
Compatibility: Make sure the string is compatible with your specific bow model. An incorrect string can cause damage to your bow and negatively affect your performance.
Use: Consider what you will use the arrows and tendons for (e.g. hunting, competition or recreational shooting) and choose products suitable for that specific purpose.

Using Arrows and Sinews for Safety and Performance

Using arrows and sinews correctly is crucial for both safety and performance. Make sure you always use proper technique and maintain your arrows and tendons regularly by keeping them clean and inspecting them for wear. Replace worn parts in time to ensure optimal performance.
