Full description and what we offer

The ArrowSmith makes custom traditional wood arrows built to exacting standards. Bob Adams doesn't mass-produce—he handcrafts each order with the level of care that traditional archers actually demand.

Spine and weight matching is where The ArrowSmith separates from standard arrow builders. Every shaft gets:

  • Straightened individually
  • Spine-measured parallel to the grain (not across it)
  • Weight-sorted to the nearest grain
  • Grouped in matched dozens within 5# draw weight, most within 20 grains of physical weight
  • Checked for straightness 3 times during construction

"I received your arrows and I wanted to say how pleased and amazed I was. I really appreciate the information you provided: i.e. the physical weight of the shafts, the deflection numbers, all to guarantee true spine weight and matched set. I have never received such detail and care from an arrow shipment before." — Herb, Lyons, CO

When you order, you'll specify: - Arrow length (measured nock groove to back of bow at your draw length) - Peak draw weight at your draw length - Recurve or straight bow - Custom specifications if you want something unique

Bob stocks arrows in different configurations and will let you know what's available and turnaround time before you commit.

  • Shafts: Machine-matched in 5# groupings, straightened and spine-tested
  • Fletching: Truflight 5-inch left wing helical feathers (shield cut standard; balloon and parabolic available)

  • Packaging: Standard one dozen arrow boxes
