Title: Arrows?
Post by: Likemp on April 22, 2020, 10:58:09 am

I'm getting close...to getting close to finishing my first couple of selfbows, black locust pyramid and American flatbow, but I have nothing to shoot them in with.  I started this journey a little bit before the quarantine hit and have been slowly accumulating what I need, but this is a piece I have not been able to track down locally (SW WI).  I cut some Elderberry shoots a bit ago to dry and plan on taking up arrow making eventually, but that isn't happening soon.  Are there any non-work-of-art wooden shaft arrows out there that need a new home?  Something that could be used by a newbie to shoot in and practice with my first selfbows?  Or perhaps just a tip of where to look?  Open to suggestions for trades. Thanks in advance!!

3 Rivers sells "Hunter" cedar arrows that are as cheap as you will find them.

Thanks for the tips!  I feel silly for not checking 3 Rivers first, I guess I assumed they weren't open at the moment.

Lost Nation sells a decent wood arrow also. Mom and pop store and great folks to deal with.
