No one knows when the bow and arrow were invented, and this is a major topic of discussion between archaeologists. How an arrow is made and works is also a seldom understood topic, to which I have answers.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their interest. My flint knapping and arrow building hobby seems to be pretty popular. After a bunch of different messages asking if I make arrows. It became apparent, that I needed to follow up last week’s column with my journey as an arrow maker.

I will start by saying, yes I do sell finished arrows. The catch is I can't do it for under 50 bucks. While teaching myself to make them, I realized how few I would be able to sell. The process is long and complicated, which makes such a small item too expensive for most. There are many processes and additional things to be made before I am able to complete one, so I hope that I can fit it all into a single column. You gain a true respect for ancient people, when you choose to walk in their footsteps. It's surprising, that such a small item can be so complicated to produce.
