Easton Jazz Black Aluminum Arrow for Training and Target Archery

The Easton Jazz Black aluminum arrow is designed for sport, recreational and training archery.

Its range of shaft sizes and lengths makes it particularly suitable for beginners, juniors, archery clubs and regular target practice when the correct variant is matched to the bow and archer.

Aluminum training arrow

The Jazz Black shaft is made from an aluminum alloy.

Aluminum arrows differ from both carbon and wooden arrows. After a hard impact they may bend or dent visibly, which can make some damage easier to identify.

A bent, dented or cracked aluminum arrow must not be used.

Designed for beginners and regular training

Easton Jazz Black arrows can be suitable for:

• beginners,
• junior archers,
• school archery,
• archery clubs,
• target training,
• sport recurve bows,
• recreational shooting.

The correct shaft variant still needs to be selected for the individual bow and draw length.

Sizes from 700 to 810 mm

Current variants include:

• 1516 / 700 mm / 6 mm diameter / 2.35″ vanes
• 1716 / 735 mm / 7 mm diameter / 3″ vanes
• 1816 / 762 mm / 7 mm diameter / 3″ vanes
• 1916 / 785 mm / 7.5 mm diameter / 4″ vanes
• 2016 / 810 mm / 8 mm diameter / 3″ vanes

This means the variants differ not only in length, but also in shaft diameter and fletching size.

Plastic vanes

Jazz Black arrows use plastic vanes.

Depending on the shaft variant, vane length is approximately 2.35″, 3″ or 4″.

Plastic vanes work particularly well with bows using an appropriate arrow rest and sufficient clearance.

For a traditional bow shooting directly over the hand, natural feather fletching will often be a better choice.

Vane colours subject to availability

Available colours may include:

• White
• Orange
• Blue
• Green

A preferred colour can be added to the order note.

If the requested colour is available, we can try to supply it, but a specific vane colour cannot be guaranteed.

Glued-in point and nock options

The arrow uses a glued-in point.

Depending on the particular variant, the nock may be:

• Easton G nock,
• 3D Super Nock.

The nock should fit the bowstring centre serving correctly and must be replaced if cracked or deformed.

Selecting the correct arrow length

Arrow length must correspond to the archer's actual draw length and include a safe margin.

An arrow that is too short can move behind the arrow rest or front of the bow at full draw and create a serious safety risk.

This is particularly important with beginners and juniors whose shooting technique and draw length may change during training.

At Erenhill Archery School, we can help measure the actual draw and choose an appropriate Jazz Black variant.

A practical arrow for clubs and training

Aluminum arrows are useful for club and school environments because different sizes can be assigned to different bows and archers.

Regular inspection remains essential.

After a miss or hard impact, check:

• shaft straightness,
• dents,
• point attachment,
• nock condition,
• plastic vanes.

Do not continue shooting a visibly bent or dented shaft.
