    I am new here and new to bow hunting in general. I have a friend of mine telling me that he knows of a machine
    shop in High Point, NC that makes arrows filled with compressed nitrogen. From what I understand they release the high pressure once they enter. I have never heard of this before and can't find anything on the internet about
    them. I was just wondering if anyone on here has any knowledge of any arrows like this.

    Hey i'm 41 and married cut me a break , the spine isn't as stiff and trajectory isn't as flat shooting as it use to be , when ya get older you need to pump the shaft full of compressed nitrogen and get a sight with bifogles on it .........:nana:

    I've heard adding those collars will help keep the spine stiff longer downrange

    LOL.......Kyle i personally dont see an advantage to arrows filled with compressed nitrogen , there not nascar tires to where temps will effect them , if they are doing it for weight to lighten up the arrow i dont see a benafit for it being a hunting arrow and i dont see it either because the caps and fitting to charge them will weigh the shafts down and most likely change the FOC if its down below the nock inside , or mabe there filling them through the insert ........heck i dont know ......lol
