Default RE: Costs to make my own arrows?

If you can get it I honestly think the 6 arrow jo jan is the best value out there for jigs. Here is a smoking deal on one w/ straight clamps. - $79

If you can't afford that you can do a single jo jan for cheaper. Here is another deal for one of those. - $34

I highly recommend Goat Tuff for your inserts, Bohning Platinum for your vanes/feathers, and then a bottle of acetone, a roll of paper towels, and some q-tips. This should be everything you need! Plan for another $30 or so for this stuff....other than that this is all you need!
