How is arrow straightness measured?
Every Zone arrow shaft is checked using a high-precision rotating measurement system that evaluates straightness across the entire shaft length. This reduces human measurement variation and ensures highly consistent verification.
What is the straightness tolerance of Zone arrows?
Straightness tolerance varies by arrow series and is always clearly listed on each product page. Premium competition models use tighter tolerances than hunting or general-purpose shafts. Zone does not use confusing "Premier" or "Standard" grading labels; each series specifies its actual straightness tolerance.
How do I choose the correct spine?
Zone offers a wide range of spine options for precise tuning across bow setups and shooting styles. All shafts are made to standard industry spine specifications, but actual dynamic reaction varies with arrow length, point weight and length, pins or collars, string material, draw weight, draw length, and release style. Start with the spine chart, then fine-tune. For lighter or shorter setups the difference may be minimal; higher draw weights, longer draw lengths or heavier rear-end components create a more noticeable difference.
Can I use components from other brands?
For the best fit, durability and performance, we recommend using Zone components with Zone shafts. Components from other brands may affect fitment, alignment, durability or performance, and issues caused by incompatible components may not be covered under warranty.
Should I cut shafts from the point end or the nock end?
Always cut from the point end only. This maintains the intended spine profile, which is especially important on barrelled shafts.
Do you ship to New Zealand?
Yes. Zonearrows.com.au is set up for both Australia and New Zealand. NZ shipping and any duties are calculated at checkout.
What is your returns policy?
