Hunting arrows vs. Target arrows - Difference?

[23wyatt]

What is the actual difference between arrows marketed as target arrows and those marketed as hunting arrows.

I shoot Easton xx78 2413 arrows. I looked on their website and the grains/in, deflection and spine are all the same when compared with the Eclipse X7.

Only difference I can find is the straightness is better on the target arrows.

Can someone please shed some light on this for me?

With aluminum the only difference is the straightness.

In the carbon arrow world, the shaft outside diameter is much larger, and the side walls are much thinner creating a lighter arrow, and faster speeds that will cut more lines on a close shot, resulting in more points.

Correction - straighntess is the same - weight variance is better on the targets -- .75% to 1%

This, but aluminums come in sml and large dia. also

a 24/32 diameter arrow will be 24 /64 diameter forever and always. The largest OD in aluminum is 27/64.
