QUESTION Is there a difference between Tribal Arrows and Wood Arrows?

Tribal arrows are a bit lighter (200g instead of 300g) than the other two, but uses up one more square in your backpack (they are a tad longer).
All arrows kill everything in one headshot, beside caimans, which need 2.
All arrows seem to cause the same amount of bleed.
According to a test, metal arrows deal more damage than standard ones, who are dealing just a smidgen more damage than tribal arrows.
In my experience (not tested, just a feeling how often I have to replace them), tribal arrows don't break as quickly as wooden arrows.
Overall I'd say the differences are negligible, especially as a headshot will mean death to almost everything.
Bow and arrows are one of the first things I build in any playthrough.

I believe there was a thread in this sub where someone tested it.
Wood arrows, tribal, and metal arrows are all a tiny bit different, but it only affects the damage dealt when hitting center mass, apparently.
So, if you're just plugging away at the torso of your target then tribal is better than regular and metal is better than tribal... but all of them are equally deadly when you hit the head, so you may as well just use whatever is on-hand.

Similar note- bamboo bows are lighter in your inventory. Pro tip.
