GPP Archery Carbon 30-Inch Targeting/Hunting Arrows Field Points Replaceable Tips for Recuve Bow & Compound Bow

I am shooting these with a 45 lb Hungarian Horse Bow from Longbowmaker. It's a self bow, no arrow rest or anything... pure traditional.I paid full price for these arrows myself, this is not in any way a paid or sponsored review. This is my personal experience with a great product, I hate paid reviews with a passion.The primary reason I rate these arrows at 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because the inserts are not epoxied in place. I like that the tips are still removable, though I do epoxy them in place because these are just target arrows for me, and it's silly to have permanent nocks because some people like to replace them right off the bat but gluing them can be an annoyance to some, and I can understand that.Pros:1) These arrows shoot straight and true. At 20 yards I can have all the shafts in a circle the size of a tennis ball if I don't make any form mistakes. At 40-50 yards they still land within a 3 inch radius of the intended target if I don't make a form mistake, so I think it's fair to say they do shoot pretty well. At 150-ish yards I'm within 4 feet of my intended target most of the time, and when I'm not it's a form mistake.2) These arrows are surprisingly durable... far superior to my first set which were fiberglass. They aren't invincible, but neither are my Victory Archery Decimators, and they honestly have broken at about the same rate. I shoot 150-200 arrows per day, 5-7 days a week at foam targets with my bow, and 1-2 days most weeks at my girlfriend's farm. These have held up quite well for 2 months, 7 of the shafts are still fully fletched and nocked. 2 more have lost nocks because I forgot to glue them in, 2 have lost their insert+ tip because I didn't glue those either, and one is actually broken... I shot through it. From my first dozen I broke 3 of them trying to pull them out of fence posts, and shot through two more, but the ones I didn't break myself are still working well. My second dozen has fared better because I'm smarter about the way I remove them from logs and fence posts, but they hit solid objects and don't get damaged on a regular basis. That's pretty solid performance for such a low price.Inconveniences:1) The insert, tip, and nock are all unglued, so if you want these to REALLY stay together use some 5 minute epoxy and glue things. You only need to do it once, don't be lazy.2) They use vanes, not feathers. Vanes are technically not ideal for traditional bows, but I still hit my targets just fine. I have probably made some adjustments without realizing it, but I can tell you that these arrows should probably be re-fletched with feathers if you're shooting off of a traditional bow or a modern recurve.3) Yes, the vanes can come off. I have a number of arrows that are missing vanes, as I mentioned above. This is a normal part of use, and these vanes are really secured on quite well, but you will have to replace them every so often.

The only problem with this arrow is that the tip can come loose after a few rounds. If you don't intendto change the tip a drop of superglue fixes the problem. I've had to dig a few tips out of targets.The arrow shaft is excellent, and the accuracy of the flight is straight and unbending.

I was expecting the only difference in the arrows would be color but that is not the case . They fly vastly different from one another on my Bow. I shoot a 50lb recurve cabellas warden bow. The arrows with the red vanes fly very straight and are very accurate. The arrows with the green vanes fly nock up every shot. the two noticeable differences are the tips, the green arrows seem to be slightly heavier, i dont have a scale to tell exactly how much. The second difference is the nocks. The nocks on the green vane arrows are much tighter then the red vane arrows tot eh point that on my string i can only use the first rest otherwise it messes with the release. I with say these arrows are very durable. My brother took some shots and hit everything but the bag and they held up great, even when he hit my shed, Im sure with the proper tip weight you can get some decent flight. I am just disappointed and surprised the arrows were so different from one another

I have bought 3 dozen of these arrows so far. I shoot with a 45 pound 58 inch recurve bow. After gluing the nocks in place and tightening up the field points, they are totally fine for practice. At 18 yards, if I do my part, they are consistent enough to hit the same hole in my target. Very much worth the money. Especially when stores are pushing basically the same arrows at $5+ each with no tip. I may throw some broadheads on and see how they do against a hog! Bottom line - worth the money!

The arrows arrived on time and were exactly as described. Both the nocks and the tips are replaceable. When I purchased the arrows I didn't realize they were for #40-#60 bows. I'm shooting a #30 recurve off the shelf (bear hair) and at 20 yards and less they are accurate. I can't speak for farther than that distance. The only thing to consider is that the points loosen when the arrow is shot so you'll want to add a bit of Teflon tape if you plan to replace the tips or glue them in if not.

Out of 12 I got 2 that where semi good to use. None of the arrow fins are straight as pictured and I do not have the equipment to fix them. I am a bit disappointed about that. Without proper Fins or whatever they are called it will not be accurate and so these are a must for accuracy. They remind me of the Orca's in Captivity they way the curl just like the Orca's Dorsal Fin. I though from the picture that these would be much more rigged than this? Pretty upsetting Pretty much a waste of money also if their is no accuracy to them which their isn't. I guess you get what you pay for? It looked like a good deal on the photo's.

For target arrows and just practicing, these arrows are good for the price. I definitely wouldn't site my bow in using them though. They don't fly as straight as other arrows I have used. Shot groups are inconsistent and rather large at 20 yards. But I didn't buy these for accuracy. I bought these for the sole purpose of working on my form without damaging more expensive arrows. I haven't had any arrows break or fall apart and I'm using a compound bow set at 60lbs firing into an archery block. So if you are looking for some cheap arrows to shoot and work on form or just having fun, they are a great buy.

These arrived quick and can handle what my husband throws at it with his Mathews bow. He even got a few stuck in our wood fencing and didn't break or damage the arrows in any way. Great product for a great price!

These are alright. They're straight and go through the air when you fire them. Bought these as target arrows and that's how they'll stay. They're throwaway arrows in my opinion. Not something I'm going to care about if I lose any, or if they get damaged. The price is exactly where it should be.Out of the 12 that were received:4 of 12 nocks were extremely loose and pulled out with no effort at all6 of 12 nocks were snug2 of 12 nocks were almost impossible to removeOut of those nocks, I don't think any of them were aligned properly. Maybe a couple, but probably by chance. After noticing a couple of them being wrong and having one almost fall out into my hand, I took them all out, got out the super glue and stuck them all back in, aligned correctly. They aren't coming out anymore. If one breaks, oh well!All arrowheads were loose and just needed to be screwed in. That's fine, no biggie. But since I've secured the nocks almost permanently, I used loctite 243 and secured the points into their inserts. No more coming loose and having to tighten them after shooting. I did this only because these are target arrows and I wouldn't be changing the points.After a couple firing sessions, one of the arrowhead insert (the metal bit that the arrowhead screws into), pulled right out. So, I super glued that back in too, and now I wonder if I should just try to pull them all out. Some of the fletching have also started peeling back at the front where they're attached to the arrow. I don't know if this is just poor adhesive or what. More super glue.Anyways, by the time I'm done with these in a few months there's going to be 100lbs of superglue on each arrow. (I joke! But they did need some glue attention to get all those kinks worked out.)For the price, this is kind of what I expected.*Updated after using them now for an entire season, and they're holding up very well after everything was glued together. However, the rubbery vanes (fetching) is starting to get a little wavy on the edges.

Aesthetics are nice on these as is the length. Really, these were the only 30" arrows I found at the time of ordering, and the price was cheap enough that I thought any effort required to bring them up to par (LOTS of gluing) would be worth it.I wasn't expecting Eastons out of the box, but this was worse than I expected. Only 4 were came ready. The rest were a mish-mash of loose points (Loctite applied), loose knocks, loose point mounts, or a combination thereof. No big deal, 20 minutes at the bench and it would all be sorted out. Adhesive was applied, the work left to set and dry, and all appeared to be in order. Used them the following weekend for some practice and found them to be... floopy. I thought I had no illusions as to their rigidity, but on a 28 pound draw, I was surprised.In any regard, these weren't destined for competition, and for 40 dollars, its the best 30" set I could find.If you do purchase these, get out your adhesives and crack a cold one. They'll need a bit of TLC before they're range ready.

Soulmate and I decided to get into archery as an outdoor yard activity during these tumultuous times. Invested in quality recurve bows, but figured that there was no point (ha!) in busting premium cash on fancy arrows until we gained at least SOME experience and notched up some practice time.So far, the arrows have been fired a few hundred times easy, and the only issues we've had so far (other than me accidentally hitting the side of our brick house once with a serious overshoot -- man, you should have seen the dang arrow spring back!) are that two of the arrows have one torn vane now (i.e., something easy to repair/replace).That's it.Heck, even the arrow that struck the house is still in great shape (well, the field point is understandably blunted, for obvious reasons, but the shaft did not shatter, crack, or bend)! So from my very beginner's perspective (i.e., I couldn't tell you if the nocks are perfectly/optimally aligned or etc.), I can at least tell you that the arrows fly straight, as she and I can already consistently hit a suspended target cube with my 40lb recurve (and her 25lb recurve) from a reasonable beginner's distance.We're definitely happy with these and might even get more when the first batch finally falls apart from regular wear/tear.

Good arrows, good price, great value. The red shaft might seem like a small difference compared to other arrows but it's actually huge when you're retrieving them. I had another set of arrows with black shafts and in one year I lost 8/12 of them simply because they were hidden under the grass. Shooting in the same conditions I have not lost a single one of these yet.

I do not recommend these arrows for the beginner archer, especially those who do not plan to fletch their own arrows.The male vane rarely aligned with the nock, which are of poor quality. After a dozen shots, the fletching is coming apart. The field points are fine, although they are all loose. It would be wise to drop loctite or glue on the threads to make sure they stay in place. I wouldn't ever recommend these as hunting arrows anyway, so a permanent tip isn't the end of the world.By the time you change the fletching, nocks, and tips, including your own time and labor, you would be over the cost of getting quality arrows from Carbon Express or Easton to begin with. The shafts are fine, throw everything else away.
