Vortex – Barreled Shaft – Premium Target Arrow
The Hemlock Vortex is our premium-grade barreled target arrow, designed with precision and consistency in mind. While it shines in target archery, the Vortex is also well-suited to a variety of other shooting disciplines.
Crafted from select premium hemlock, the Vortex features a barreled profile for improved flight dynamics and recovery. The standard configuration is a 5/16” shaft tapered to 9/32”, though stiffer spine ratings may require a slightly larger diameter.
Each arrow is fitted with a brass bullet point (typically between 63gn and 70gn, depending on the spine and shooting setup), an AAE Plastinock, and your choice of 2" shield or 2" parabolic fletchings.
For increased stability and surface area, 2" shield fletchings are recommended
For longer distances (70m and beyond), 2" parabolic fletchings offer reduced drag
Also available as bare shafts for custom builds.
