Kids arrow supplier

Guys I teach 4H Archey. I'm actually headed there in a little while. My problem is we need some new equipment. These kids do pretty good but they are sometimes tough on arrows. Last year I got some fiberglass arrows. The ones with inserts instead of outserts. Anyway they have had the inserts pulled out and knocks came off etc. We had some aluminium ones that seemed to have lasted beter other than a few being bent or lost.

So My question is a couple things.

Is there a place I can get good durable arrows that will last. Carbon or aluminum doesn't mater. I went with the fiberglass ones for durability but they have let me down. I plan to fix them but would like to get some new one in the mean time.

Remember they have to be one size fits all kind of things. Super acuracy isn't as important with these kids. they usualy try different bows each session but all use the same arrows. We shoot mostly up to 25 lbs or so. So I don't want to haevy of an arrow either.

Suggestions? Remember it is 4H and I'd rather not spend a ton on these things either.

Thanks is advance.

Beaman makes a jr arrow that is really good. The Beaman ICS Hunter Jr. Good, solid arrow good to 40 pounds. We sell them for $36/dozen, and I would imagine you could get them for less.....We are 4H instructors at our shop, so we get them direct from Beaman...I don't know if that's an option for you or not.

mobow,

I'll check into them. are these normal arrows (not the cheap kids style)?
. I don't think 36 is too bad if they last. Where is your shop website?

Yes, they are "regular" arrows. I actually think they are ICS Hunters that just didn't fall w/in specs. They are very good arrows, actually.

Well, I wish we had a website I could share with you. I've FINALLY got him talked into doing one, but it's going to be some time before it's up and running.

I just saw that BassPro carries them, but they sell them for 27/half dozen......not sure why they charge so much more......I'll keep looking and see what I can come up with.
