My advice is Mike at Maddog! The only problem is I think he's backed up until after Christmas... But I'd check with him! My 3 youngest are getting Pup longbows for Christmas and they arrived last Saturday. Mike's craftsmanship is excellent and I will be posting pictures later in December. As far as arrows, Mike suggested 1/4" birch dowels from Woodcrafters for shafts. I heeded his advice and put together 3 dozen (customized for each child... of course) dipped and crested arrows tipped with 1/4" field points available from 3 Rivers. I also made 3 quivers from various animal pelts (Trey's is bobcat, Ezra's is raccoon, and Ella's is sheepskin). I made custom armguards (again personalized)from scrap leather (old purses), antler, beads, and buttons available from my household stash. Again, I will post photos of these projects later in December.
