I received exacly what was advertised and the shipping was very fast. I use these practice arrows, the fletching and nocks have stood up to alot of abuse, they are put together very well.

I purchased these shafts thinking it would be only the shaft with fletching and that I would have to put inserts and point on them myself. They came as a complete arrow and I have been shooting them all afternoon with a big smile on my face. On top of that I noticed that they accidentally charged me a second shipping fee. I contacted their customer service link (that came with my order) and they refunded the money to my account that afternoon! Top marks...great value and great customer care. I will buy again from them soon!

I use these for all my target shooting now. Great arrow, fast, light, and true.

These arrows come complete and ready-to-shoot. They are very good quality for this price range.

My order was assembled, shipped, and arrived to me on time. I had them make a dozen of these for me in Easton Blues 30-inch 1916 size and every one of them are very good quality with great consistency across all 12. The colors of the fletchings they used on mine compliment the colors of the shafts beautifully (blue+white feathers on mine). Shipped in a sturdy triangular-tube mailing pkg, bundled in sets of 6 arrows, with additional paper packed into tube to keep arrows from rattling around during shipping. Nice touch! Screw-in Field Points instead of glued-in blunt target tips, VERY NICE! And just as advertised the feathers are mounted in a true helical spiral pattern so they fly great.

I have now shot these arrows over 100 times each from my 35# recurve bow and they are holding up great. Nothing has gone wrong with any of them: no feathers peeling off, no nocks have come off, none of the screw-in point inserts have come loose. They must use a high quality glue because I've had a few go pretty deeply into wood and the tips didn't pop off even after having to pull hard with both hands to pull them out. I've accidentally shot a couple into the gound all the way up to their nocks; pulling them out of the soil and crabgrass roots made a mess of the feathers. I rinsed them off under the hose and stood them up to dry overnight. After drying I gently ran my fingers down each feather to coax them back into proper alignment and they sprung back into shape easily. Can barely tell the difference between these 2 and the other 10 that have never seen dirt, and they still fly true.

None of the fletchings on mine have shown any signs of starting to peel off or come appart. Perhaps they have switched to a better quality glue since some of the earlier reviews, or maybe those people were using tight shoot-through arrow rests. Feather-fletched arrows should not be shot through anything like a Whisker Biscuit -- you're just asking for damaged feathers if you do that.

NOTE TO THOSE SHOPPING: the choices of sizes and lengths you can pick from via Amazon.com seems to change every few days. If the size you need is not listed, try again next week. For example, 1916's seem to go out of stock quickly/frequently, then come back as a pickable size after some number of days (they appear to update their Amazon availability list almost daily based on their current supply of shafts).

My 9 year old is just getting into basic archery. I bought him a small recurve bow and these as spare arrows. They seem to work great so far, very pleased with this purchase.

I was very satisfied with these arrows. The shafts are very durable i have not even damaged a single one. The fletching weren't the best i've ever seen but worked great. normally i will buy arrows and the tips will come off and then the arrow will shatter. This was not the case with these. the seamless tips are very strong and have not even come loose. all in all these are some of the best arrows i have found for a reasonable and affordable price.

Best arrows I've ever shot! I used to buy the cheap arrows at dicks spoting goods for about $4.50 a peice and the feathers were all one peice of rubber and wold tear easily, and the heads were so weak that my styraphome target could dent them, but these come ot to be only like $2 more (per arrow)and the feathers are actally like feathers (not all one peice) and not rubber. The arrow heads are much harder and sharper and connect seamlesly to the shaft. Great buy!

I've ordered these arrows before and they were great. This last group came with 49 grain nibb points instead of 100 gr combo field points. Also, one of the 6 nocks just popped off after a couple of shots. Poor glue job I guess.

I got the arrows as advertised and at the exact length I had ordered. I was expecting the shafts with feather fletching and nocks, just as I ordered, but to my pleasant surprise, they not only came with those but they also came with inserts and field points installed - bonus! Shipping came faster than I had expected. The arrows shoot great out of my 35# longbow. My only regret is that I should've bought a dozen instead of half a dozen.

As always, Easton provides reliably consistant products. There may be lighter, faster, arrows made with the latest technology and all of that is lost on a beginner like myself. The points need to be tightened as they are only finger tight right out of the box. Take care of course that you don't crush the shaft by cranking down in steel faced vice. Being fletched instead of vaned they are not indistructable, but can take a lot of abuse. I should know. They fly a lot truer though than the vaned arrows I have used so far. It doesn't hurt either that price is hard to beat as well. Check out the Easton web site to find the right spine for you.
