Metal Arrows

Metal arrows are made from steel and aluminum. Steel wasfirst tried out by the American Fork and Hoe Company butwas soon abandoned. Steel arrows were too stiff and too heavy.Then, just before World War II, the steel arrow was revivedby the other experimenters. They were made tapering at bothends with a swell near the midway point. They were usedwith varying success. Being of a small diameter they were notaffected so much by wind. They have not made their appear-ance since the last war.
