Letszhu Archery Carbon Arrows Wooden Grain Shaft 500 Spine with Feather Fletching for Hunting Target Shooting

1. The arrows arrived bundled with two cable ties that were pulled very tight around the arrows. This tight bundling caused three of the six arrows to have one severely crushed feather. Initially I was going to return them, but then I decided to apply warm water to the damaged feathers to soften them, and gently worked the feathers to bring them back to their original shape. Well, it worked, and I was glad that I didn't have to return them. Arrows should not be bundled this way for shipping. A 1/2 inch Styrofoam rod in the center of the pack could prevent the feathers from being scrunched together.2. The arrows look to be well made, and the beautiful wood grain looks flawless, however there's no printing anywhere on the arrow as to the "spine" or straightness of the arrow. I'm assuming that the bar-code on the paper wrap around the arrows is how the seller knows that they're sending out the right spined arrows. It would be nice to have the spine number printed on the arrow.3. All the turkey feathers are their natural color. This is not a big point, but I would love to have one of the feathers to be a different and brighter color for easier loading and better visibility if the arrow runs aground.Well, that's it. I hope this review is helpful to those of you that are considering purchasing these arrows.ADDENDUM: I've been contacted by Dungguan Liezhu Trade Co. Ltd. in China apologizing for the way the arrows were packaged, and appreciated my input on the matter. They expressed their commitment to complete customer satisfaction and their desire to improve their product along the line of my suggestion. They also offered to send me a new set of arrows after the modifications were made. Now, that's what I call EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. No company can have 100% control over everything. It's how a company reacts to when something goes wrong, and then, their efforts to correct the problem. Because of Dungguan Liezhu commitment to rectify the situation and excellent customer service, I've upped my rating to five stars.

The arrows I received were in good shape. Everything on them was as described. I didn't realize that the carbon would rub off on my hands so that was a bit of a disappointment. I expected them to be sealed so that wouldn't happen. But they are nice and lightweight. And the feathers are cut and lay nicely as well.

Excellent value for the money. ( FAST Shipping, only took 10 days that I can receive it)I always try different style and different brand arrows.I bought these arrows based on the great reviews on amazon. I decided to pay a little bit more for feathers instead of plastic vanes since I'm shooting a traditional bow off the shelf.These carbon arrows work well with my bow and I really enjoy shooting them.Plus 6 white nocks for free, convenient to replace it.Also, these arrows with wood grain appearance and look so unique.They fly straight and are very consistent.The feathers look natural and will appeal to many traditional archers. Natural real feathers have great balance and guidance while shooting.Highly recommend these arrows for all archers.

In my opinion, these arrows can rival that of Gold Tip's traditional arrows. I use these arrows with my traditional recurve bow and the arrows travel cleanly off the shelf. The feather fletchings are soft so they do not interfere as much as other feather fletchings when leaving the shelf. The spine works perfectly with my 40# mandarin duck black hunter and is accurate.The best part of the arrow design is the "anti-explosion" arrow nock insert. I most likely would've destroyed and split 5 arrows without it (you can see the marks the arrow left on the metal insert in my pictures). I've destroyed/split three expensive Gold Tip arrows in the past and it is painful; especially since each of those arrows cost about $10 a piece...so if you were to "robin hood" an arrow, you would only lose the white plastic nock and not shatter the shaft...saves money in the long run.The only two negatives about these arrows: 1) the fletchings came in deformed due to the cramped packaging (but you can easily fix this by dipping the fletchings in warm water), and 2) the arrow's wood print near the tip begins to fade if you shoot into abrasive materials over a long period of time (such as a home-made stacked carpet target).Great arrows! Buying 12 more soon.

So I love these arrows... Fly great, release well, very accurate. But the quality of the connections is unfortunately not good at all. I've only had these arrows for a couple weeks now. Of the 6 arrows, one of the arrow tips came off (and not just unscrewed, the entire insert pulled off when I was taking it out of the target), a second arrow had the nock fall off the insert/adapter, and a third arrow had the tape, or whatever it is used to wrap the fletchings together, slip right down the shaft and off the fletchings.Keep in mind I don't shoot into anything hard. Target block, behind it is barrels of hay, then just grass. I want to continue using these arrows put they continue to fall apart. I have an email out to the manufacturer, I hope they remedy this soon.
