Custom Arrows in Sarasota
Your arrows are the one piece of equipment that leave the bow — meaning they have the biggest impact on accuracy, forgiveness, penetration, and consistency. At Sarasota Archery Academy, our Custom Arrows are built specifically for your bow, your draw length, your goals, and your discipline.
We use a fit-first, data-driven approach to match arrow spine, total weight, FOC, vane selection, shaft type, and point configuration so your arrows stabilize quickly and perform consistently at real distances.
What’s Included in a Custom Arrow Build
Every custom arrow set is built using a step-by-step precision process:
- Bow & draw analysis to choose the correct spine
- Arrow shaft selection (Altra, Victory, Easton, BEA, Gold Tip, Ultraview)
- Cutting & length matching accurate to 0.5mm
- Shaft squaring (front & rear)
- Spine alignment / indexing for consistent flight
- Weight matching across the entire set
- Fletching configuration (vanes, helical, offset)
- Point / insert selection for FOC consistency
- Final tune validation when combined with bow tuning
Every arrow set is matched within extremely tight tolerances to maximize group size and consistency.
Arrow Choices for Every Discipline

👨👩👧 Youth & Development Archers

These builds often follow: Beginner Lessons or The Foundation Program.
How We Select the Right Arrow Spine
Arrow spine charts are generic and rarely accurate for your specific setup. We match spine using:
- Real bow measurements (DW, DL, cam type)
- Actual arrow length after cutting
- Point weight / insert weight
- String type and speed
- Your grip pressure and shot style
This method produces significantly better accuracy than relying on manufacturer charts alone.
Optional Add-On: LabRadar Arrow Data
For archers wanting the highest level of precision, we can record:
- Real arrow speed
- Speed decay over distance
- Ballistic profile
- Drag coefficient
This data pairs perfectly with: Custom Sight Tapes.
