Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a Mega Thrust® Arrow so special?
NO GLUE, NO KIDDING…Our arrow doesn’t require glue. Without the time, expense and hassles associated glued inserts and fletchings you will experience the EVOLUTION OF ARCHERY with Mega Thrust®.
Our arrows don’t require glue and they are STRONGER than glued arrows. Mega Thrust® Carbon Arrows have been and will continue to be rigorously tested every day to ensure our customers have a strong, dependable and precision product. As of October, 2008, our Mega Thrust® Slitted Carbon Arrow Shafts have been rigorously target tested with EZ-Release™ Ball Tip™ Points and in over 70,000 tightly grouped shots that have resulted in NO SHAFT DAMAGE. Arrows are shot at 30 yards with a Hooter Shooter by Spot-Hogg®.
Assembled according to our instructions, Mega Thrust® Arrows are OUT OF THE BOX ACCURATE. With our superior innovations at Mega Thrust® fletchings and inserts are perfectly centered, resulting in consistent and accurate flight trajectory. In addition to these great benefits, our arrows can be assembled in a fraction of the time that conventional arrows require. See inside the Mega Thrust® System.
Are Mega Thrust® Carbon Arrows SAFE with slits in the back?
A quick installation of fletchings, nocks and inserts is nothing without maintaining a strong, secure and accurate arrow. Our Mega Thrust® Slitted Carbon Arrow Shafts have been vigorously target tested with EZ-Release™ Ball Tip™ Point in over 70,000 Tightly Grouped Shots we experienced NO Shaft Damage. Arrows are shot at 30 yards with a Hooter Shooter by Spot-Hogg®. We are committed to continued testing and innovation to the sport of archery in order to bring archers easy-to-use, quality products with dead-on accuracy. As with any arrow, the archer must inspect each arrow before each shot. See Mega Thrust® Archery’s Safety Information & Use for safety recommendations.
What is a Mega Thrust® Stabilizer?
A Mega Thrust® Stabilizer is a four vane fletching that is inserted through the pre-cut slits in our Mega Thrust® Carbon Arrow Shafts. It should be pulled tightly against the bottom of the slits until it is securely seated. Assembly continues by sliding on the Sure-Lock™ Sleeves and fitting the nock into the end of the arrow shaft. You can view our full Assembly Instructions for your self.
Why is a Mega Thrust® Stabilizer better than glued on fletchings?
As every Mega Thrust® Stabilizers is assembled, it is perfectly centered within in the carbon arrow shaft. This system produces secure and truly centered fletching vanes every time. Our Stabilizers are tougher and thinner than traditional fletchings allowing for better durability with less drag. Our NO GLUE system ensures that fletchings can be REPLACED IN SECONDS without a drop of glue or the need of tools. You can assemble them with your bare hands. View our Fletchings to see all of the options to choose from.
What are Mega Thrust® Inserts?
PULL TESTED UP TO 150 lbs., our inserts are a dramatic leap forward for the archery industry and hold stronger than glued inserts. The Mega Thrust® Insert is secured with our set-screw. Assembly only requires you to push the insert into the arrow shaft end until it seats with the edge, then tighten the screw with an allen wrench. Mega Thrust® Inserts take seconds to install and can be easily removed. View the simple Assembly Instructions for Mega Thrust® Inserts.
How do I determine arrow length and draw length?
To determine the length of an arrow, measure from the cut end of the shaft to the bottom, inside of the nock groove (where the string rests in the nock).
Draw length is determined by taking the measurement of your arm span and dividing by 2.5.
What is an Arrow Spine and why is it important?
The spine of an arrow is vital to achieving ideal groupings and accuracy. Spine is the amount of flex or deflection, in the arrow shaft. Manufacturers determine spine when a 880 gram weight is hung in the center of a 31” shaft, while the shaft is supported by two points 29” apart. The measurement of the shaft bend is the arrow shaft deflection, and it determines the spine of an arrow.
How do I align Broadheads with the Mega Thrust® Arrow?
