Arrow Making
The art of arrow making has been around for thousands of years, dating back at least 25,000-30,000 years, and maybe even as far back as 100,000 years ago. Many cultures have relied on the bow and arrow for hunting as well as warfare. The bow and arrow soon became the most important weapon used across Europe, Eastern Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Arctic regions, and remained prevalent until the invention of gunpowder. By the 1600's the use of the bow and arrow as a war weapon was in great decline until it all but vanished by the 17/18th century worldwide. People in many areas of the globe continued to use the bow and arrow, as they do today, both as a hunting weapon and for sport.Through the years the arrow has been subject to modifications and improvements, but it is still basically the same as it was thousands of years ago.
The basic parts of the arrow are:
1) the pile or head,
2) the shaft
3) the shaftment which includes the feathers, the binding and the knock.
Arrow making is a long, tedious, and sometimes difficult process that makes the end result all that more rewarding.
