Element Arrow

Has anyone had experience with the Element Arrows? I’ve been looking at the Tornado Series and the Nucleus Series.

I've got a dozen nucleus to build out for next season, haven't shot any of the yet though

Shot the typhoons for 2 years. Hate to say it but by far the worst arrow I’ve shot. They have a super good marketing team. I bought them in a bundle where you get 12 broadheads for free. Broadheads were cheaply made too. There’s better arrows for way less money out there.

Dang that sucks. I really wanted to give them a try.

Did you see the commercial where the dude shoots them into a brick wall?

No I didn’t.

No I didn’t.

That’s what sold me on them. But they aren’t as tough as a lot of other arrows

I just looked that video up, it sure is impressive, but controlled tests can make anything look good.

What was your biggest complaint? Toughness? Consistency? Something else? Or all that and more?

All that. I thought I was getting a premium arrow and the tolerances were lacking compared to other arrows in the price point. The components were absolutely trash. It was an outsert system and most wouldn’t spin right no matter what you did. If you ever had an arrow go through a target and hit the ground you could bet that outsert was bent. I had a couple hit things like logs or stumps and they both mushroomed and ruined both arrow and outsert. I’ve had axis arrows and about all black eagle arrows I’ve shot handle hitting stumps just fine.

I've heard that about outsert systems in general, more so in the past than with newer systems. The nucleus use a 100 grain stainless insert, which I trust more than most outserts. Now I feel like I need to get these built sooner rather than later so I've got time to go another route if I need to.
