Has anybody tried making arrows with increased damping? I searched briefly, found nothing. This would extinguish the flex oscillation more rapidly. I wonder if this would affect arrow performance one way or the other. With carbon arrows, you might do it by using a lower modulus matrix material, which would dissipate flex energy faster than the high modulus epoxy they likely use. The arrow flex amplitude should be determined by the carbon fiber modulus and layup pattern. Oscillation ringdown (damping) should mostly be a function of matrix material energy dissipation, since the carbon fiber has very low damping.
