Archery Terminolgy or the words used in modern day archery are very
unique and different. A feather on a bow is no longer a feather
it is a fletch. The tip of the arrow is no longer just a tip it
is called a broadhead.
When I first started shooting I had to keep going back to the
glossary terms in order to understand what to buy and what to call what
I suppose to ask for.
I remember the first time I went to Cabela's I had no idea what to
ask for. I just wanted a target arrow, just a simple arrow to
shoot. I ended up buying target arrows alright but I had to glue
the inserts into the shaft and I also had to buy the tips to screw into
the inserts.
Actually I was intimidated by the process of going
to the a sporting good store because the terms used was so
different. The bows, well that was a whole different story.
When I started looking a bows all I saw was the price and I quickly
changed my mind about buying a bow. Finally, as you already know
I made my own and it worked so I start making more and selling them at
reasonable prices.
