cooksomerice:
How did each of you learn to build arrows?  Is there a good book, did someone teach you, trial and error, etc...?  I built a selfbow but shoot aluminum arrows due to lack of knowledge.  Would like to learn to build arrows soon.

A lot of trial and error. Plus talking with people from this site and looking at pictures posted here. There is a wealth of knowledge floating around.

Cromm:
Hi,
there is some great books out there but if you have found this site just look at as many arrow info and photos as you can for free.
Is there a type of arrow you have in mind that you want to make???

Scowler:
ALOT of trial and error.  Check out this and other traditional/primitive web sites for information.  Two good ones (besides this one) are Stickbow.com and Paleoplanet.  Ask alot of questions.  There are some good bokks out there as well.  good luck.

Hillbilly:
Like the others, reading, asking questions, and a lot of trial and error. A couple good books to get you going are Jim Hamm's Bows and Arrows of the Native Americans and Jay Massey's arrow chapter in the TBB vol. 1. There are also a plethora of good arrow-making articles in the back issues of PA magazine.
