Woods are various, but currently the most common is pine. Port Orford cedar is a traditional favourite; it is lighter and holds its straightness better than pine. Good shafts in this material are however more difficult to get hold of. Other woods are used such as; ash, birch, poplar, hazel, beach, and oak.

Read More »Arrows used in longbow shooting have to be made out of wood and have natural feathers. Woods are various, but currently the most common is pine. Port Orford cedar is a traditional favourite; it is lighter and holds its straightness better than pine. Good shafts in this material are however more difficult to get hold of. Other woods are used such as; ash, birch, poplar, hazel, beach, and oak. Ash and oak are particularly suited for making war/livery/military arrows, which have to weigh between 1000 and 1500 grain. The points are usually made of brass, iron or horn. For the nocks plastic is allowed, but the more traditionally-minded use inserts made of horn or hardwood. The feathers or fletching can be either glued onto the arrow-shaft (the most usual method), or they can be bound with thread as well as glued, as they would have been in the Middle-Ages. The photographs show arrows that have inset horn nocks and fletching that are glued and bound. The photographs above show the different shapes of fletchings that can be used. Parabolic feathers (yellow and blue) are the most common and have the best flight characteristics. Their length varies from 1 and 1/4 inch to 5 inches (3.2 to 12.7cm). The white and grey-barred fletchings are known as shield fletchings and have a slightly more "authentic look", but wind resistance is a little greater than for parabolic. Shield fletchings are usually between 4 and 6 inches long (10.2 to 15.2cm). The white and red fletchings are closest to "the real thing". These fletchings are longer (up to 7 1/4 inches, or 18.4 cm) and their wind resistance is greater than the shield fletchings.
