Arrow performance doesn’t happen by accident, it’s built piece by piece. This collection features GOHUNT-approved components that let you fine-tune every part of your arrow setup, from broadhead to nock.
Whether you're building for speed, penetration, or pinpoint consistency, these vanes, inserts, collars, broadheads, wraps, and glues are hand-picked to help you build arrows that hit hard and fly true.
Featuring trusted brands like Easton, Gold Tip, Black Eagle, Slick Trick, G5, TAC Vanes, and more, this is the gear serious bowhunters use when every detail matters.
Fixed-blade broadheads have permanently extended blades and are known for their reliability, durability, and bone-breaking penetration — making them a top choice for elk and other large game. Mechanical broadheads deploy blades on impact, creating larger wound channels and often better flight characteristics at longer ranges. While mechanicals can fly more like field points, they introduce more moving parts, which may be a concern in extreme cold or on tough-angled shots. Your choice depends on your game species, setup, and confidence in your tuning.
Vanes stabilize your arrow in flight, and different vane designs can impact broadhead accuracy and noise. Low-profile, stiff vanes like TAC Drivers or Q2i Fusion-X are popular for fixed-blade broadhead setups because they create consistent spin and reduce planing. High-profile vanes like Blazers provide great control but may catch more wind. For broadhead use, most hunters prefer three- or four-fletch configurations with a slight offset or helical to promote rotation and tighten groups at distance.
Arrow wraps make it easier to fletch vanes cleanly and help your vanes stick more reliably. They also make arrows more visible in flight or after a shot, especially when paired with bright colors or reflective designs. Wraps aren’t required, but they can help with vane adhesion, tuning consistency, and arrow recovery — particularly in low-light or thick brush scenarios.
Inserts determine the weight and component compatibility at the front of your arrow, affecting your arrow’s front-of-center (FOC) balance and tuning. Heavier inserts can increase penetration and improve broadhead flight, especially at longer ranges. Collars add reinforcement at the front of the shaft, protecting carbon from impact damage and reducing the chance of splintering on hard hits. Hunters building arrows for elk, moose, or rocky terrain often combine the two for added durability.
Lighted nocks contain small LED modules that activate when the arrow is released, making them easier to track in flight and locate after the shot. This is especially useful in low-light situations or when filming hunts. While slightly heavier than standard nocks, most modern lighted nocks are well-balanced and reliable. Always check local regulations, as some states do not allow lighted nocks for certain types of hunting.
Arrow nocks may seem minor, but they play a critical role in consistency and safety. The right nock should fit your string properly — too tight, and it can cause inconsistent release; too loose, and it may fall off or misfire. Common types include press-fit nocks, which slide into the back of the shaft, and G-nocks or pin nocks, which are used with specific bushings or insert systems. Some nocks are designed for improved visibility, while others are built for added durability during repeated shooting. Always match your nock size to your arrow’s diameter and your string serving size for best performance.
Field points should match the weight of your broadheads (typically 100 or 125 grains) to ensure consistent flight characteristics. Choose a diameter that matches your shaft size to avoid damaging your targets or arrows. Use field points during practice and initial paper tuning, then fine-tune broadhead flight by matching their flight path to your field tips. Any variation between the two may indicate tuning or vane issues.
For vanes, use fast-drying adhesives specifically designed for archery — brands like AAE Max Bond or Bohning Platinum are popular for bonding to wraps or bare shafts. For inserts, use epoxy or heavy-duty gel adhesives that can handle shock and vibration from impact. Always follow manufacturer recommendations for drying time and surface prep. A clean shaft and good adhesion process are key to long-term durability in the field.
