Re: Making wood arrows
Made many from dowel rods and cane Joe. Now I’m lazy and wait for a really good clearance sale on carbon, I get many years out of a dozen! I know that word makes some cringe, I like them.

Re: Making wood arrows
I stay away from dowels for anything above kids' arrow draw weights. They've been known to 'splode on release because some vendors glue scraps together before running them through the planer.
Aim small, miss small!
