Most trad archers who use wooden arrows end up fletching their own. These dont show up as arrowmakers, but they are. Wooden arrows have to be matched to the bow and the shooter.
If youre not shooting a longbow, its easier and cheaper to shoot modern arrows which are mass produced and dont require the same level of tuning.

- WillAdams 4y agoYes, but where are they sourcing the shafts? Of what material? (It's been a while since I saw Port Orford Cedar shafts in bulk in a sporting goods shop) Apparently the discussion here is limited to commercial viability of crafts? Is preservation of craft a concern when it has become widespread?
