Comet – Rear Tapered (“Dovetail”) Shaft – Indoor Target & Field
The Hemlock Comet is purpose-built for indoor target archery, offering stability, speed, and line-cutting advantage in shorter range shooting. It features a rear-tapered (dovetail) shaft profile, optimised for quick recovery off the bow and tight groupings downrange.
Made from premium hemlock, the Comet typically uses a larger diameter shaft to enhance scoring potential by increasing line-cutting chances—ideal for those competitive 10-ring shots.
Each arrow is fitted with:
3" shield fletchings for stability and fast arrow recovery over short distances
A TopHat 100gn point
An AAE Plastinock
Though designed for indoor performance, the Comet also performs well in field archery, particularly where fast, stable flight is needed in varied terrain.
Available as bare shafts for those who prefer to tune or build their own setups.

Style 4 (Comet) Full Swirl Shaft with Crown
Style 4 features a striking combination of a full-length Hemlock Swirl finish and a bold, contrasting solid crown. The shaft is entirely hand-crafted in your choice of walnut or mahogany swirl, giving a warm, traditional look with dynamic texture.
The upper section of the shaft features a solid colour crown, available in any of the following:
black, white, yellow, orange, red, blue, purple, green, mahogany, or walnut.
A clean 1-inch black accent cresting separates the crown and swirl, adding a crisp, modern break between the two finishes. There is no fletching band in this style, keeping the look simple and clean.
As with all our styles, custom cresting colours are available on request.
Style 4 is perfect for archers seeking a bold, elegant arrow that blends natural textures with sharp, classic detailing.
