Hello,
I'm currently working on my first century auxilia archer epression. Now I have some questions on how to construct good and realsitic arrows for the period. I use a scythian bow about 45 # drawweight.
What wood would be best to use for the shafts? Can anyone recommend a "company" that sells ready made shafts? Would 5/16 diameter be ok?
What kind of feathers should I use for fletchings? How long should the fletchings be? Should they be glued on or bound off?
Thanks in advace!
Greetings,
Tom
