Great quality sold at even greater prices best describes Southland archery's product ranges of bows, arrows, and other shooting accessories.
SAS Arrows are used by hunters, crossbowmen, target shooters, 3D competitors, and Olympic archers worldwide.
Southland Archery Supply's Carbon arrows have always been in high demand due to their lighter weight and narrow shafts.
The light weight of the arrows is responsible for fast arrow speed and more extended-range shooting.
Other than that, SAS' carbon arrows help reduce wind drift, thanks to their narrow shafts.
Carbon arrows can be more difficult to tune than aluminum arrows, but they are still known because of their increased speed and accuracy.

Materials & design
Carbon arrows' material and manufacturing process have evolved over the years, but they have stood the test of time in archery contests and hunting equipment.
Many hunters prefer these arrows since the bows used to shoot them are simpler to operate than bulkier wooden bows that require more strength from the archer.
Carbon arrows are made from a combination of materials like carbon fiber, epoxy, and composite resin.
Manufacturing Process
The composite materials are blended to produce an arrow that is both powerful and light enough to withstand the rigors of archery.
- The procedure begins with a large section of carbon fiber slashed into short sides and warmed up until malleable.
- After that, the material is arranged in strips on a smooth surface and encased with epoxy and composite resin stacks.
- Then, the materials are compressed by running them against each other, similar to how a rug is wrapped when stored.
- This establishes the final structure of the arrow shafts that can now be split into equal sizes and completed with nocks at their ends to make them easier to attach to bowstrings.
Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Durability: These arrows are more durable than aluminum or wooden arrows and do not bend easily when struck by targets. A carbon arrow is an excellent choice if you're looking for a long-lasting arrow that can withstand repeated shots.
Accuracy: Carbon Arrows shoot more precisely than other arrows, making them suitable for long-range shooting of small targets. On the other hand, you can easily access it and improve the accuracy of your shots. So, if you want to improve your accuracy while target shooting or competing, a carbon arrow can significantly help.
Weight: Because carbon arrows are lighter than metal arrows, shooting these projectiles requires less effort. As a result, you can target more precisely and shoot more quickly. However, the speed of your shot is also determined by the bow you use. So, with the right bow paired with your carbon arrow, the dual action can produce significantly better results.
