Meet The Arrow — Tooth of the Arrow’s flagship .204” small-diameter carbon hunting arrow shaft, engineered for strength, precision, and downrange performance. Built with thick carbon walls, this shaft is designed to punch through game and targets alike.
Built for hunters. Loved by 3D junkies. These shafts don’t just show up — they dominate.
Our Recommendation: Best suited for medium to advanced bowhunters and DIY arrow builders. Shafts come cut to length, and customers must fletch vanes and install inserts for a fully customized build.
For Hunters: Ideal for deer, antelope, and other small to medium game, especially for close to mid-range shots (20–60 yards).

FAQ
Q: Do these shafts come fletched or bare?
A: By default, shafts are sold bare and cut to your requested length. White .204 nocks and 50-grain stainless half-outs are included loose for custom installation. We also offer pre-fletched options on select spine and length configurations.
Q: How do I choose the correct spine?
A: Spine depends on draw weight, arrow length, and point weight. Use our Spine Selector Tool or email us at customercare@toothofthearrowbroadheads.com with your bow specs, and we’ll help you pick the right spine for your setup.
Q: Will you cut the arrows to my length?
A: Yes. We offer free arrow cutting in 0.25″ increments. Just select your desired finished shaft length before checkout. Keep in mind the standard nock adds 0.25″ and the half-out adds 0.50″ to total length.
Q: Are the shafts compatible with standard .204 inserts and components?
A: Yes. These shafts use a .204″ (5 mm) inner diameter, which is compatible with most .204 ID components, including aftermarket half-outs and outserts. Our included 50 gr stainless half-outs fit seamlessly.
Q: What tolerances can I expect?
A: All shafts are built to ±0.003″ straightness and ±2 gr weight tolerance. GPI and OD vary slightly by spine, and all specs are listed in the Tech Specs tab above.
Q: What’s your return policy on cut shafts?
A: Because custom-cut arrows are made to order, cut shafts are non-returnable unless there’s a manufacturing defect. Uncut shafts can be returned within our standard return window if they are unused and in original packaging.
Q: Can these be used for both hunting and target shooting?
A: Absolutely. The thick-walled .204″ profile delivers excellent penetration and wind performance for hunting, while the tight tolerances and 3K woven carbon construction make them ideal for 3D and target shooters.
