The arrows are 44 inches long (will cut to desired length) and are designed to be shot from Yumi bows Japenese style--that is, drawing with the thumb and shooting off the thumb on the right side of the bow. They are made from white birch shafts and are fletched by hand with two turkey feathers. They feature a self nock with a heat tempered wood tip. Due to the long length, the arrows may require hand straightening from time to time.
