It is in Germany if you have written proof by the authorities that you didn't break the law getting the feathers (i.g. killed the bird on purpose)

Very nice arrows. Well made footings and the buzzard feathers look great.
The sorbus would be like our American Mountainash or Rowan.     Pat

Very cool!   I'm brand new and breaking a lot of practice arrows.  Can y'all advise me on where to get the materials and intructions I need to make myself some decent practice arrows?  Is there a reasonaly affordable supplier of shafts, points, etc?

....or is there a source for less expensive trad arrows ready made?

I broke the nock off one of them and couldn't get it to go back on (using everything from wood glue to rubber cement...  :(

Very nice arrows, Radon!

Savate, is this a self nock that broke? If it is, you can fix it by gluing it with a good wood glue, then wrapping from the bottom of the nock to the base of the feathers with thread or sinew, and soaking the wrapping with glue. I've broken several self nocks and have repaired them in this way (my arrows are very precious to me ;))
