kids arrow making supplies?
« on: August 28, 2019, 07:15:06 AM »
Looking for 2inch feathers vanes, for my little 4yr old arrows. I've tried 3Rivers but no luck. Can anyone recommend a place? Thanks in advance.

For what it's worth, when I made my kids' their arrows, I used whatever feathers I had on hand and simply cut the quill to 2 or 3".  Made a cool shark fin profile. 

If that's not an option, Lancaster archery carries a wide range of the small target feathers like that.

When my kids were little, I used  3 or 4" parabolics,  1/4" nocks and points from 3Rivers and 1/4" poplar dowels.
We are all here because we are not all there.

Wapiti Archery has kid's arrow kits. I bought one for my daughter. We dipped them in pink paint and she had a blast. They just need to be tapered.

4 years old might be a little young for anything other than kids' arrows with rubber suction cups on the end that you would buy at a toy store, but for future reference, these are great kids' arrows from Lancaster. Maybe for about 8 years old and up?
