🎯 Altra Arrows Centrum Series: Built for Precision, Tuned for You

At Sarasota Archery Academy, we know that the right arrow makes all the difference—whether you’re competing in an indoor shoot, stalking wild game, or hiking a mountain course at Total Archery Challenge. That’s why we proudly build with the complete Altra Arrows Centrum Series, covering everything from .166 micro-diameter hunting arrows to .421 indoor target shafts.

Every arrow in the Centrum lineup is constructed with high-modulus carbon, precision spine alignment, and ±0.001” straightness, giving archers the consistency they need at the highest levels. And when you pair these shafts with our custom arrow building service, you’re getting more than just premium arrows—you’re getting equipment tuned exactly to your bow, form, and discipline.
