THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT In all honesty, with the current work/family situation, that's not likely to improve a lot this year, but I'd love to get back into shooting, so maybe in a year or two when we get a house built (on the farm we just bought, so I can hunt close to home) this will improve. Meanwhile, I got my bows out (compound and recurve) saturday and did some shooting. I have -0- arrows left for my recurve and only a handful for my compound. Until I got married, I lived within spitting distance of a GREAT pro shop that built my arrows for me - you pick the shaft, fletching (color, length, type, straight or helical, whatever), insert, nock, and they'd cobble them together and I could pick them up the next time I dropped by. Well, that shop is an hour away now, so I need a source of arrows. Does anyone have an online service where you can specify fletching type, color, angle, etc, exact shaft length, etc, and they assemble your arrows and ship them to you? |

I build my own arrows with a Weston arrow saw and Jo-Jan monofletcher, but, if I were to order arrows online, I would order from these folks. They're just about as cheap or cheaper than rolling your own.
http://www.huntersfriend.com/carbon_arrows/hunting_arrows_about_field_ready.htm South Shore archery seems good to go. I just ordered my EZ Green bow press from them and got it within 2 days, free shipping. Never had them build arrows though. |

I've bought my arrows, fletching, and points from 3riversarchery.com. They'll build arrows to your spec but I enjoy making my own and it's a little cheaper. I'm using an Arizona Rim Country E-Z Fletch jig that I got through Amazon.

I build my own, but I've seen plenty of nice arrows come from hunters friend.

You can't even see a speck of glue on the vanes, yet they have all stayed on with no peeling, etc.  |

I ended up ordering my arrows from Hunter's Friend, South Shore was out of the arrow I was looking for. All I can say is they did a very nice job and they shipped so fast I was wondering how they had time to build my arrows. They did come exactly as ordered. Two thumbs up.
