Abstract: A carbon fiber arrow shaft comprises a hollow tube, a reinforced carbon fiber, and a resinoid binder. The hollow tube has a length between 500-900 mm, an inner diameter between 2-10 mm, and a tube wall thickness between 0.3-2 mm. The reinforced carbon fiber and the resinoid binder form a resin-impregnated carbon fiber. The carbon fiber arrow shaft is formed by directly and continuously winding the resin-impregnated carbon fiber around the hollow tube. The carbon fiber arrow shaft has a head section (L1), a middle section (L2) and a tail section (L3). A winding angle of the carbon fiber at the head section (L1) is changed from a larger winding angle to a smaller winding angle, a winding angle at the middle section (L2) stays constant, and a winding angle at the tail section (L3) is changed from a smaller winding angle to a larger winding angle. The lengths of the head section (L1) and the tail section (L3) are between 25-250 mm.
