EXCELENT Wooden Spruce Arrow with Natural Turkey Feathers

The EXCELENT wooden arrow is a complete traditional archery arrow made from selected violin-grade spruce.

It combines a sorted wooden shaft, measured stiffness, natural turkey feathers, a metal 3D point and plastic nock.

Selected spruce shaft

The shaft is made from selected spruce described in the product specification as violin-grade material.

The wood undergoes double sorting to select suitable shafts according to straightness, grain and other characteristics.

As wood is a natural material, individual arrows may still vary slightly in grain, shade and mass.

Spine measured with a professional tester

EXCELENT shaft stiffness is checked using a professional spine tester.

Correct spine depends on:

• actual bow weight,
• draw length,
• shaft length,
• bow design,
• point weight,
• release technique.

The arrow should therefore be selected for the actual bow and archer.

Available lengths

EXCELENT is offered in:

• 28″ / 710 mm
• 30″ / 760 mm
• 32″ / 810 mm

Arrow length must include a safe margin beyond the archer's actual maximum draw.

This is especially important with longer Asian or thumb-draw techniques.

8.0 and 8.7 mm diameters

Available shaft diameters are:

• 8.0 mm
• 8.7 mm

Diameter alone does not determine spine. Final stiffness also depends on the individual wooden shaft and its length.

4-inch natural turkey feathers

The arrow uses 4″ natural turkey feathers.

Natural feathers can partially collapse when passing close to the bow riser, shelf or bow hand, making them particularly suitable for many traditional bows.

Helical fletching

The feathers are attached with a slight helical orientation.

This encourages rotation around the arrow's longitudinal axis and supports stabilisation after release.

Helical fletching does not automatically guarantee accuracy. Spine, shaft straightness, consistency and shooting technique remain important.

Custom feather colours

Standard fletching uses black and white natural feathers.

Custom colour combinations can also be ordered according to the current options.

Three coats of clear lacquer

The wooden shaft is protected with three coats of clear lacquer.

This helps protect the surface from ordinary dirt and moisture but does not make the arrow waterproof.

Metal 3D point and plastic nock

The arrow is fitted with a metal 3D point and plastic nock.

The exact point weight and nock model are not specified, so these values should not be assumed.

Traditional, 3D and horseback archery

When correctly matched, EXCELENT can be used for:

• traditional archery,
• instinctive archery,
• longbows,
• traditional recurves,
• 3D archery,
• field archery,
• some Asian and horsebows.

Choosing the correct EXCELENT arrow

For an accurate recommendation, consider:

• bow draw weight,
• actual draw length,
• bow type,
• arrow length,
• shooting technique.

At Erenhill Archery School, we can help match the arrow length, stiffness and diameter to your actual bow.
