It simply depends on if you enjoy it, and if you have suitable timber. It's not my thing, but I have done it. Easy enough to make a shooting board, and if you have a good sharp plane (even a little block plane will do) it's not too bad.
If I want to spend time making arrows, it will be flight arrows, and that's a time consuming process!

Hi Jacob, I notice you are age 15?  Wills and Del are two of the very best warbow builders and their advice  is excellent.  What sort of draw length and weight are you  at now, and where are you looking to move to?

Jacob1:
I have a draw length of 29 and inches and am trying to make a 70 ish pound bow And can easily shoot a 50 pound bow

bownarra:
Don't go up more than 5# at a time. At 15 you need to be careful, you only get one set of shoulders :)
Also better to just shoot lots at this point.

Hawkdancer:
Plus 1 on that!  Also, lots of exercises like push-ups and lifting!
