I make everything for myself traditional, including arrows,feather vanes from turkeys, Quivers from bamboo, leather wrip, arrow rest from zebra lion and other cats, broadheads from machetes which I cut and sharp, there is nothing out there you can't make with a little ingenuity.

I've made a few quivers and armguards--nothing impressive, but they worked. I have gotten into making strings pretty deep. You can get a lot of info. on the web--you might check the classfieds on different sites and find the TBB's at a reasonable price.
I can say that, with strings at least, the more you make the better you will get and the easier it will be. Don't try to re-invent the wheel--get advice and information to save yourself a lot of time and aggravation.

Shoot--I forgot arrows, fletchings, and small game points. Still chop my feathers, but buy them ready to use or have them ground if they are straight from the bird. Still make my arrows when I have time--when I don't, I con a buddy into it.
