I'm not a fan of heavy arrows for any purpose including hunting. But a lot of people disagree and like them. This makes me wonder why fiberglass arrows never stayed around after carbon shafts came into being. With glass you can easily get a very nice weight without being too stiff. I shot glass arrows in the late 60s and early 70s as a kid. I remember them being very nice, heavy, but they felt like wooden shafts but much more consistent. Heavy carbon shafts are terribly stiff requiring too much point weight to soften them up. At least I don't like extreme FOC. Not a fan of that.
It would seem glass would still be great for hunting. Does anyone know anything about manufacturing issues or reasons why glass is not used today? It would be cheaper too I have to think. I've always wondered about this.
