Custom arrows

I’m sure someone, somewhere has adverstised or vouched for a good place to get some arrows before, but I thought I’d see if anyone new has popped up. I’m looking for a place to get some arrows made, ideally cheaper than some of the stores. Does anyone here have a person they like to go to? The best case scenerio is that I find a reliable, reasonably priced person that I can come back to. I have the stuff to do my own, but my outfit is more leaned towards simple repairs of my arrows (a worn feather or loose insert here and there).

I only had experience with one person (he was suggested by someone on this forum). His name is Guy. He did a great job on the arrows I bought. His web site is http://www.greenmanarchery.com. I have not used anyone else, so I really have nothing to compare to, but the arrows were what I ordered at a good price (compared to shopping around online at some bigger places) and shoot pretty well. You probably have more experience, so check out his site. Only thing is, he is in the process of moving, so he isn’t taking any new orders at the moment. Hope it helps.

Here are the arrows I had made:

CavScout, I just made a set of aluminum arrows. The equipment used could fit in a shoebox and still have room left for shoes. Aside from glue, fletching tape, fletching jig, and aluminum cutter, I have a deburring tool to spresad the end to put the insert in. I use all the same colors for cock and hen feathers, but that is not an issue. This was the first batch I have ever made, and I absolutely love it. I would still order arrows, but I have to admit, I am sticking with self-made aluminum for 99% of my shooting/hunting. I know there are some dedicated wood guys out there, but I just find aluminum easier, and I don’t have to wait for the stain to dry (I was never much into arts anyway). I also don’t need a power cutter as for carbon. Maybe give it a try and see. Plenty of places to get shaftes and feathers from. Some shafts go for $2.50 a piece and feathers as low as $0.25. Nocks and inserts are either included or very cheap ($0.05 each in some cases). I used to think I needed quite a bit of equipment, but, like I said, I have a shoebox that holds EVERYTHING but the bare shafts. Hope it helps.
