I'm going to give deer hunting with a bow (longbow) and arrows this year. I'd like to use modern hunting arrows, but really don't know what to start with.
Anyone have a source on the internet that they like? If anyone knows of a source on Amazon.com, even better- I've got free shipping for this year.
Thanks.

Re: Hunting arrows
Thanks- 3 Rivers look like they know what they're talking about, and know how to walk newbies through myriad choices.

Re: Hunting arrows
I use gold tip traditional carbon arrows they look like wood and I use Zwickey broad heads on them. I'll check the number on them tomorrow night and let you know. 3 rivers is a really good place I've gotten a few things from there.

Re: Hunting arrows
Similar to what Laothain described, 3 rivers carries "Traditional Only" branded modern shafts designed to be shot from Trad bows (longbow/recurve, etc.), but with a woodgrain print on them, and they're sorted by a system that lets you match them to your bow, much like you would match wood shaft spine weights.
Now the sword shall come from under the cloak.
