If I can do it, anyone can..... I promise......

When I say "make" I guess technically I don't make my arrows b/c I do buy the shafts first.... Then straighten them, taper them, seal them, fletch them, etc......

It will take some initial cash investment for to required tools.... I bought 550 Ramin Wood dowels and have sorted them by spine..... Half weren't even useable, but for $90 I ended up with 5 dozen hunting arrows, 9 dozen stumping and small game arrows, and another 10 dozen bird/squirrel arrows........ And another 10 dozen or so kid arrows......

The best pointers I can give you is to cruise the traditional archery websites and use the search feature on the forums...... You'll get all the info you want.....

As far as actually cutting a tree down and turning that into arrows, I can't help you.... I don't have the power tools necessary for that.... But the easiest natural shafts would be rivercane.... I have cut 2 dozen of those and am about ready to start playing with them.....

Necessary tools foran arrow maker and prices I paid are:

Spine Tester $70
Grain Scale $40
Arrow Straightener $35
Taper Tool$30
Fletcher$40
Arrow Saw $40

So as you can see the initial investment is high, but over time it more than pays for itself considering custom woodies will cost you $75 or better per dozen on average....
