Poor durability. Inconsistent results.
UPDATE January 25, 2021: I am knocking these down to 1 Star. A couple days after the review was written, one of the shafts broke. It split right at the end on the head side. These simply lack durability.January 19, 2021: I waited a couple months before reviewing these, as I wanted to give them a fair chance.At first, I really liked these arrows. I am new to archery and the arrows that came with my bow, which I will review separately, were awful. However, it did not take long for me to see some definite lapses in quality.To start, the feathered veins, while nice, were not securely attached to the arrows. I have had to superglue not only the wrap for the veins on every arrow, but have had to superglue the veins themselves on two arrows.Every single arrow has had to be repaired in the fitting for the arrow head. As pictured, the fitting itself has been pulled out, reglued, and pulled out again. I am shooting into a braided target (pictured).One nock has been lost on one arrow. It fell out after a shot. I wasn’t able to find it and with the general quality, I won’t bother replacing the nock.The arrows are also poorly balanced. I brought them down to a local archery shop to have them take a look. The shafts are not straight, leading to inconsistent firing. I began to suspect this after over a month of nearly daily shooting without significant improvement.I was able to test the consistency against the shop owners arrows at their indoor range. I was grouping about the size of my palm with his arrows. With mine, some of my shots were over a foot from each other. This was from a shooting distance of less than 30 feet.All in all, these arrows are not very well made. Granted, they are not very expensive, either. However, there are other arrows in lower price ranges that will probably perform comparably. If you want something cheap and you aren’t going to be shooting seriously, these arrow are fun, but you will need something large to catch arrows because you will likely miss the mark frequently.Personally, I will be holding out for higher quality arrows.

Perfect.
Love these arrows largely noticeable improvement of the plastic fletched $30 12 pack I bought to start with which were absolutely terrible. I am new to archery I thought I was terrible because I was new, it was the arrows. I can alternate between these and my cheap arrows the cheap arrows produce a 24" group at 30 yards... These produce a 6" group easily. I was loosing inserts and tips at the rate of 2-3 per session with the cheap arrows. Shot these all day today still like new.

Nice looking arrows, useful for a beginner
I previously reviewed this item as a 1 of 5 as the arrows looked nice but one was losing a vane and another would not accept the field point. I would like to update my review to reflect my interaction with customer service. After contacting the seller, they responded quickly and were very polite. I asked for two arrows to be substituted for the ones that were defective and offered to return them to the seller. They informed me that I could keep them and sent me 5 replacement arrows, which was very generous. While you would always like for things to arrive usable out of the box, in the end I was very pleased with the response from the seller and would certainly use them again. As far as the actual product, I would say that the arrows look great and seem to work well for a beginner such as myself. I've been out shooting with them several times now with no problems. In this price range these seem to be solid arrows.

it is a good idea to double check how securely they are attached ...
Decent arrows, carbon fiber is very durable. The fletchings are artificial feathers and seem to be fairly durable as well. The problem I am having is the way the fletchings are bound to the arrows isn't the sturdiest. If you have fletching glue, it is a good idea to double check how securely they are attached before firing. For the price, I suppose they're not bad and I will buy again but the quality isn't 100%. However, they do fly straight and I can hit a soda can at about 9 or 10 yards or so with my recurve.

Affordable. Good beginner arrows
Pretty decent arrows. All of them were perfectly straight and weighed the same. I did have issues with the threaded inserts coming loose and falling out. Granted it's entirely my fault. I'm new to archery and as such... I miss. I have my target set up next to my wooden shed so if I miss I don't send an arrow into my neighbor's yard. You shouldn't shoot hard targets with arrows piriod. So I can't blame the inserts. But if you are new to archery you are going to ruin arrows. That's just how it's going to be. That being said. These are a pretty good option for beginners. The arrows that didn't slam into my shed lasted a long while. If I had any suggestions for anyone buying these, it would be to soak the string that's wrapped in front of the fletching in super glue. They tended to start fraying and I feel it would make them last a bit longer. Overall decent arrows for the price.

Price is good, but quality is inconsistent
The price on the arrows was good and they look nice, but when my daughter went to knock them on her recurve bow over half of them did not knock properly. They didn't grip the bow string correctly, and the knock on one of the arrows fell off. I returned them to the seller and received a replacement set without issue, and the second set worked fine. So, beware that you should try them out shortly after you receive them to be sure that they work correctly. Fortunately, I ordered mine shortly before Christmas, so I was still within 30 days for exchange, but if I'd been farther out things may have been more difficult. I'm disappointed with the consistent quality of the product.

Not 25 grams as described, nocks misaligned
Described as 25g arrows, finished. They are 28g without the tip, 34g with the tip, way too heavy for what I need. Nocks not aligned properly, and are glued in place. Fletchings seem very similar in stiffness to the plastic vanes on my other arrows (my understanding is that feathers are typically more flexible than vanes?). Can't comment on how they shoot, sent them back after finding the issues I mentioned.
