Arrows for maddog pup.
« on: November 18, 2020, 10:10:05 PM »
Hey all,
My son is 4 years old. I ordered him a 36" mad dog pup longbow for Christmas. What arrows are your kids, grandkids etc. shooting? I'm not too concerned with spine, just want something light enough that will stick in a foam target. I thought about making him arrows out of 1/4 inch dowels, but not sure how that would work out.
Thanks, Matt.

My boys both shoot PSE Razorbacks,  they come in a few different spines. My boys shoot the 28" 1200 spine model and they shoot fantastic. My 5 year old went from went from bouncing arrows off 3D targets to having them stick in every time. They have also been quite durable.
Cheers

I bought 100 1/4 inch birch dowels for around 30 dollars and  components for them from 3 rivers. Not all of the dowels were arrow quality but cutting them for the boys to 20" made lots of them work.

I picked up some youth Easton arrows off of 3 rivers for my kids Mad Dog bows. But you will probably want to get a new string right away. His strings come very thin on his youth bows. Had some standard weight strings made up.

I bought the razor backs. They seem to be perfect. Light and a sharp point. Thanks.

My boys have a Maddog pup recurve and longbow. I’ve done dowels, Doug Fir from Surewood Shafts and the PSE Razorbacks. I have to say the razorbacks definitely work best with the light bows.

I'm having a heck of a time getting pictures to load but my daughter and I just fixed up a dozen dowels with self nocks. She watercolor painted them first which was a real thrill for her. She is 3.5 and at this point aiming is not much of a thing so dowels with 2" feathers that fly far are a hit. They dont even have proper points but she loves them. Best part, they cost about .50c a piece so I dont mind when they are sent to kingdom come while we are out stump shooting.
