Here is a good arrow straighter. Cut about 8 inches off a broom handle. Drill a hole in the end and screw in an I bolt. Cut the I bolt with bolt cutters so the finished bolt looks like a ? mark. Look down the arrow and locate a high spot. Put the end of the arrow on the edge of your table and hold the arrow just the other side of the high spot with one hand. With the other hand, pull down on the high spot and rub the high spot with the arrow straighter. This will compress the wood and the arrow will stay straight much longer than hand bending the arrow. If you have an arrow checker (like an Arizonia arrow straighter) with a gauge to show you very small bends (high spots), you will be surprised how straight you can get a wood arrow. Why is this important? Accuracy! Some traditional tournaments require wooden arrows only. Also, broadheads fly better on straight arrows.
