Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for an arrow shaft of an arrow for archery can include a shaft body with circular cross-sectional profile extending for a length in a longitudinal direction and defined by a carbon composite. The carbon composite can include a carbon fiber weave and a binder. The carbon fiber weave comprises at least two sets of tows including a first set of tows and a second set of tows. The first set of woven tows extend longitudinally to define the longitudinal length of the shaft body, and the second set of woven tows are woven into the first set of woven tows with an angle relative to the longitudinal direction.
Claims31
An arrow assembly for archery, comprising:
- a shaft body including a hollow circular cross-sectional profile extending for a length in a longitudinal direction, the circular cross-sectional profile defined by a carbon composite,
- wherein the carbon composite comprises a carbon fiber weave and a resin, wherein the carbon fiber weave comprises at least two sets of tows including a first set of tows and a second set of tows,
- wherein the first set of tows extend longitudinally to define the longitudinal length of the shaft body, wherein the second set of tows are woven together with the first set of tows with an angle of 30 degrees relative to the longitudinal direction;
- an arrow head coupled with the shaft body at one longitudinal end;
- and
- an arrow nock coupled with the shaft body at another longitudinal end, opposite the one longitudinal end, the nock configured for engagement with a bow string of a bow for firing.
An arrow assembly for archery, comprising:
- a shaft body including a hollow circular cross-sectional profile extending for a length in a longitudinal direction, the circular cross-sectional profile defined by a carbon composite,
- wherein the carbon composite comprises a carbon fiber weave and a resin, wherein the carbon fiber weave comprises at least two sets of tows including a first set of tows and a second set of tows,
- wherein the first set of tows extend longitudinally to define the longitudinal length of the shaft body, wherein the second set of tows are woven together with the first set of tows with an angle of 60 degrees relative to the longitudinal direction;
- an arrow head coupled with the shaft body at one longitudinal end;
- and
- an arrow nock coupled with the shaft body at another longitudinal end, opposite the one longitudinal end, the nock configured for engagement with a bow string of a bow for firing.
An arrow shaft for an archery arrow, comprising:
- a shaft body including a hollow circular cross-sectional profile extending for a length in a longitudinal direction, the circular cross-sectional profile defined by a carbon composite, the shaft body configured to couple with an arrow head at one longitudinal end and with an arrow nock at another longitudinal end, opposite the one longitudinal end,
- wherein the carbon composite comprises a carbon fiber weave and a resin, wherein the carbon fiber weave comprises at least two sets of tows including a first set of tows and a second set of tows,
- wherein the first set of tows extend longitudinally to define the longitudinal length of the shaft body, wherein the second set of tows are woven into the first set of tows with an angle relative to the longitudinal direction, wherein the angle is selected from the grouping consisting of 30 degrees and 60 degrees.
