- Traditional cedar shaft offers good feel and durability
- Minimizes lost arrows and maximizes hunting time
- Very limited effective range (20-25 yards max)

- Not suitable for target practice or large game
- Cedar shafts can splinter on direct hits to hard objects
Aluminum 3D Target

- Consistent and predictable flight characteristics
- Outstanding value for competitive archery
