      A:

      Hi it is not so much the wood of the arrows. in medieval times a number of woods were used. However for this type of bow the archer's paradox will be pronounced.Therefore the correct spine is all important.Regards Martin

      A:

      I use Carbon Express Heritage because the shaft is heavy in grains per
      inch.

      A:

      It is not recommended that this bow be drawn past 28". You will want to use the stiffest shafts you can find.

      A:

      1/2" poplar shaft tapered to 3/8" at the nock with 6" fletching would be considered an average shaft for a warbow of this weight.

      A:

      The only color that we offer is the lighter color. The bow with the darker core is the standard ELB not the Heavy Weight.

  • Q:

    If i got this bow for the purpose of using it's full 32" draw, would i be able to request prefletched wood arrows that are cut to 35-34" (since usually they are cut to 32" correct?), and what spine would you recommend with say a 125-145 grain point?
    Also i recommend adding the option of having horn nocks installed by the manufacturer so the warranty is not voided when people try a DIY installation, since from what i hear the self nocks wear the string faster and don't look as great.

      A:

      The longest wooden arrows that we have will be 31.25" with the point on. We have some bamboo arrows that can be longer, but those are only raw shafts. For more detailed information on spine selection and arrow choice give us a call at a1-866-587-9501 or send us an email at info@3riversarchery.com.

  • Q:

    Is there a way to reenforce the nocks on this bow and if not is there any way that you can reenforce them for a buyer? Or can the buyer reenforce the nocks themselfs with the horn nocks? and if thats not possible would wraping the nocks with sinew work?

      A:

      Yes, you could install horn nocks to the tips by tapering the tips to fit the shape of the horn nocks. We do not offer this as a service, and by modifying the bow you would void any warranty on the bow or horn nocks. I am not sure how much reinforcement you would be getting by using just sinew on the string nock areas.

      A:

      I'm not a bowyer but I'd say no there isn't a straightforward way of reinforcing with horn nocks. I have to say that I don't think the nocks need reinforcing as they're hard and durable. If anything, the self nocks wear the string quickly so I'd definitely get an extra string and/or serve the loops on the supplied string. Basically, the nocks don't need reinforcing, in fact they tend to wear the string.

  • Q:

    since this bow does not have horn reinforced nocks, would it be safe to actually pull this bow to 32"?

      Yes, as the other answer puts it, the War bow was designed for a longer draw length such as 32".

  • Q:

    Will this bow handle a 35 inch draw and if so what arrows do you have that can handle the weight at max draw?My draw lenth is around 31 to the jaw and about 34 to 35 at the ear. And I would like to shoot this bow inboth styles. Also what doe the nock ends look like they are not pictured?Are they horn? Or strengthened with another material?

      A:

      I would not recommend that you pull this bow much farther than 28". The nock ends are not reinforced with horn or bone. They are just the wood laminations that are in the rest of the bow.
