DIY - Complete modern Arrow making tutorial - tips & tricks

This is how I make 'standard' 32 inch arrows. It's like a comic book, just follow the pictures and enjoy.

Always calculate the right length, weight, spine and diameter of the shaft for your bow and your goal. There are some good websites about that which you will find with Google.

Differ a bit with the weight of the arrow point, until you find the perfect combo for your type of shooting. I feel that 125 grains is a good starting point. You can do the same with the shape and the length of the feathers. I think you can start with 4-5 inch parabolic or shield and work from there.

In my humble opinion there is not just one way to make the best arrow. By making yourself a few arrows and adjust them the next batch, ultimately you will find what works best for you.
