The Art of Arrow Making - Wild Shoots (Chapter 4)

Chapter 4 in the Art of Arrow Making Series is a how-to guide for making arrows from wild shoots found in the forest - commonly known as “shoot arrows”.

Almost every region and climate has something growing in it that will produce good arrows. I couldn’t possibly list the hundreds or thousands of species that are suitable for the task. You’ll just have to explore and experiment!

This method has been used since the dawn of archery and is without a doubt one of the most widespread throughout human history. It was a valuable skill for our ancestors, and remains an excellent option for producing quality, hand-crafted arrows from wild plants to this day.

I hope this tutorial proves helpful in your quest to find and make arrows from your local environment. Thanks for watching!
