I think it's a bit chicken and the egg (I maintain the egg came first!). How can you tell if you are shooting okay and improving if your arrows are so off that you can't hit the side of the barn, standing inside with the doors shut?

It's a constant excuse coming from archers who don't want to spend any money, that they'll get new arrows when they're shooting better. Not realising that they are never going to shoot better with their bent bananas.

I would look at cheap and nasty for the stage at which you can't keep them on the butt at 20m. Once you can do that, upgrade and progress in distance only when you can keep them all on target.

The arrows are actually more vital than the bow (assuming average level gear). So buy good ones and accept the fact that they will need replacing on a regular basis. Buy what you can afford, but don't skimp!!
