How and what materials should I use to make an arrow?
This is a serious question, not some kiddie project. I’ve heard I could use goldenrod plant to make an arrow but how the hell do I do that? And I hunt pheasant a lot, so would game bird feathers make good fletching? Should my arrows be as long as the bow or shorter than the bow? No, I don’t want to buy a kit, I used one when I was a kid and I’m done with kiddie archery. I’d rather make a bow and arrow the way my ancestors did then buy some over-priced wooden bow that looks like it was made out of plastic…
Here is the information on your arrows.
Number of Arrows: Start 20 potential arrows. You will probably end up with 5 or 6 good arrows.
Wood: Any straight sapling, shoot, or sucker without branches or knots. They should be between 24 to 30 inches long and between 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Shorter arrows remain straighter, fly better, and don’t break as easily. Remove the bark. Tie all the arrows together into a bunch to help to preserve their straightness. Cure the arrows for one to ten days (but not in the sun) and hand straighten each day as necessary.
Point: Whittle the narrow end of the arrow to a point. Harden the point of a green arrow by charring it over the hot coals from a campfire.
String Notch: Notch the thick end of the arrow for the bow string. Wrap twine around the notch end to strengthen it and to prevent it from splitting.
Practice: Shoot each arrow at a very soft target (a pile of leaves or a pile of some very loose dirt). Keep the arrows that fly straight on a regular basis. Discard the unpredictable arrows.

Where does the odd feather go?
Well, I'll start the arc and I was in Cabela's. type recommended bows and went to the beach to shoot. arrows there, the notch is not aligned with one of the feathers and feather intruder (in common sense). I mean not the alignment is that if you hook on the tail rope to go up or down, as strange was the pen perpendicular to the odd feather. Then I got exactly the same arrows and when I put the tips at home, I realized that these arrows aligned with the notch pen odd. I'll get this fixed or do I put the odd-numbered side up or down (remember the notch is aligned with the stylus odd)? and I can not go back because the man Cabela charge it on my drawing
The workshop should cover with you. The pen "bizarre" the rooster called in vain. How the shot was aligned with the vain rooster depends on what kind of rest use your bow. If the arrow is supported by many against the face of the front-mounted faucet with no claim to be on. Some rest, "Bowdoodle" a line to require rooster vainly down. Cookies Whisper "type is not important. In most of the arrows struck today may be activated. If you push and pull on you too can wear the teeth engaged between the coup and the arrow to point at a time and not stay in place. I recommends taking a training course to obtain this basic information BowHunter.

how do i fletch a arrow and were can i find equip for good prices
You need a fletching jig and fletching glue. You can buy that stuff at any archery shop or online at Cabela’s, Basspro, Gander Mt. or any of the other big chains. Buy a book..you need to understand different angles and size of fletching. Unless you shoot alot it won’t be cost effective for you to do it yourself. You can always take your stripped arrows to an archery shop and they can do it for a small fee.
