Fiberglass Arrows
Does anyone know if fiberglass arrows are being made? I use to order in bulk and make my on about 30 yrs ago. I think the name of the company was Anderson archery? I think they went out of business.

I don't know of any like the old Gordon's glass arrows, but sometimes there are some for sale here and there on auction sites or classifieds.
There's plenty of solid glass arrows for sale, used for bowfishing--but I don't think that's what you are looking for.

Over the centuries, bows and arrows have evolved with civilization. Not only is there a wide number of ancient and old types of bows and arrows, but with technological advances there are now more types than ever.
Bows were of two basic kinds: wooden and composite. The earliest bows were undoubtedly made from wood, probably simply cut from saplings and whittled into the desired shape and strung with animal gut. These earliest of bows developed into the short bow, longbow, and various other plain bows5.
The Egyptians of the Nile region produced what is most likely the first extent bow, which had the basic design properties of the long bow.
The Egyptians also used composite bows made up of wood and horn, with bows ranging shorter than a man’s height estimated at 150-200 lb. in draw weight. The Israelites made similar bows, with wood, reed, and water buffalo horn.
The bow of Britain most likely started as the simple plain bow, or self bow, then through necessity and trial and error they developed the long bow, which was principally wood, if only with a strip of leather as a grip. The longbow was often taller than the archer, with a tremendous range. Also there developed bows of various lengths and uses.
Native Americans made use of both wooden and composite bows depending on what was needed where. In the open plains strong bows of great range were used, and in the woodlands where stealth and cunning was needed, lighter bows
were used.
