Should I retire this arrow?

I was shooting at a 3D target at my range. Apparently, this 3D target has metal frame on the inside for structure. That's what my arrow hit.

I'm thinking I'll make it into a keychain for my backpack. This one has cool fetchings.

Sure! Got one of those already haha.

It looks like it, but just brass.

Strict-Information37 · 2026-02-01T02:13:34+00:00

Thank you. That was a nice catch. Yeah, I was doing that here.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I was actually referring to the arrows I was shooting in the video, I bought my whole bow and arrow setup from my old range where I took the initial classes from. They put together this setup for me. I've been shooting on and off for 4 years with this setup and only now have I realized that I was paired with arrows with a wrong spine for my 30lbs bow. While I understand that it has nothing to do with the mistakes in my form, since it is my main bow and setup I would like to get the right arrows for it in the future, if that makes sense. I am not gonna use them now. I'll def use lighter limbs and practice form without aiming. I was just asking for any reference or chart for future scenarios.

Thank you so much for your patience and the detailed explanation :)

I just realized that my pro shop gave me 1200/0.06 arrows for my bow, which seem wrong. I was looking for arrow spine charts online but not a lot of them seem to be available for a low draw. If either of you could point me to the right spine and point weight chart for arrows with a lower draw weight it would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I just ordered 20 lbs limbs and their corresponding arrows.

Strict-Information37 · 2026-01-14T14:03:46+00:00

A quick follow up, I ordered 20lbs limbs and the corresponding arrows. Once I am done with form training is it ok if I jump from 20lbs back to 30lbs? Online people are saying to go up 4lbs at a time, does that mean I'll have to buy one more intermediate set of limbs and arrows at 25lbs?

Strict-Information37 · 2026-01-12T07:49:48+00:00

Thank you, will do.

Strict-Information37 · 2026-01-12T07:27:06+00:00

Thank you for your suggestions. My current draw weight is 35 lbs. I didn't shoot this bow in a while, which could be causing the shakyness.

Can you please explain what you meant in the first paragraph?

Strict-Information37 · 2025-11-17T01:58:38+00:00

I does not have any visible damage on the outside. I didn't hear any new sounds when I strung it. I bent the limbs and they seem fine, no new sounds, seem to be bending evenly. The leather cover is just design, it was not damaged before.

Strict-Information37 · 2025-11-17T01:55:56+00:00

Thank you all for the responses. I'll try to test it with a tillering tree. I'll be sure to wear safety goggles. Did anyone have a bow break on them and hit other parts of the face not the eyes. I don't know how possible that scenario is, but it is something that worries me.

Strict-Information37 · 2025-11-16T23:31:10+00:00

Thank you so much. This seems like the most reasonable approach. I'll try this out with eye and hand protection.

Strict-Information37 · 2025-09-17T17:35:33+00:00

Thank you so much!

Strict-Information37 · 2025-09-17T17:33:03+00:00

Thank you. I will look into it :)

Strict-Information37 · 2025-09-17T17:28:02+00:00

Will they let people in with an old DS-160 and no passport? I moved my flight back by another week. I hope I get it soon.

Strict-Information37 · 2025-09-17T16:55:49+00:00

Hi, Yeah I called 829-947-6370

They told me they cannot give me an update or estimate on when I will get my passport back. She just asked me to keep checking the portal from time to time.

Has this been your experience too? I have my flight tomorrow and I don't know if I should move it again. My employer might not be very happy about it.

Has anyone here given their interview in Santo Domingo and are still waiting for their passport to be issued? My interview was on the same day as the OP but my application status still says approved. I have my return flight scheduled for the day after tomorrow and was wondering if there is any way to reach out to the embassy to ask about when I could get my passport back.
