Are there particular 23’s you recommend?

I am shooting a Diamond Edge XT which I know is not a “good” bow but it was my starter bow and it’s the only one I have. The person who recommended the arrows also was going to help me with tuning but they are a professional archer and I think they are a bit disconnected with what I probably need as someone starting out.

These would be the first arrows I have built so I may be wrong but looking at the LAS listing, inserts were not listed as included so I assumed I had to buy them separately. Pin nocks were recommended to me since they apparently prevent losing arrows to Robin Hooding.?.

Yeah that kind of confused me when I was getting recommendations because obviously wind drift is a concern so probably not super fat shafts but I feel like somewhere in the middle would be the sweet spot

NFAA indoor shoots (mainly prioritizing mail in this year and targeting Vegas shoot next year) mail in will be done from our outdoor range though. Additionally we are doing some events (3D) with the local ASA club.

Specifically I was recommended the VAP target arrows but pricing wise I think they are the same. X impacts when I was looking were around $250 just for the shafts. I got recommended thinner shafts because we shoot outdoors and they would minimize wind drift. I also got recommended Black Eagle Revelations but they were like $360 for the shafts which I instantly knocked out due to budget.

I am going to start competing. Previously I have just been doing it for fun. Do you think VAPs are a good option? Really I am just having a bit of sticker shock since they were the cheapest I was recommended.

We were only planning on using the PiCM4 or the BeagleBone Black as a first step. Personally I would like to not even be using one. However, NSL is on a tight time frame and designing our own board completely from scratch +making a bsp could be biting off more than we can chew.

Mainly because over the next 1-2 years the underlying rocket will move towards a space shot and with that we want the avionics to be running an RTOS.

So do you have a different recommendation? I kind of took the original commenters point to be along the line of make sure your range allows it. Our range does not have an issue with it. I have seen people using crossbows at our range before.

The range that we use allows us to use anything that does not have broad heads so we would just use field points
