well since my biggame season has ended i plan on going after all things small game. so basically i need a really inexspensive perfrably wooden arrow that i wont cry over if i brake or loose it. that im able to buy up to 3 doz. give or take for a REASONABLE cost.


so where do you guys get your "bunny arrows"?


thanks,
steven

Make them.  It would be a good way to hone your arrow making skills.  If they did not turn out perfect, they are still "bunny arrows".

i planed on making them as to learn to get better results making woodies i was more looking for a dirt cheap shaft to learn with.

Hildebrands and Surewood both sell "bunny buster" shafts - like 2nds or something

The dowel bin at Lowe's is a good place to look.

Definatly dowel rods.  5/16 or 3/8, depending on your draw weight and length and point weight.  If you want to get real motivated, you can get 3/8 rods and taper then the last ten inches towards the nock end and have tapered wooden bunny shafts.    :D

i seen the .92 arrow tutoral. would it be safe to shoot just any dowel out of a 50lb recurve at a 30" draw?

If you have no spine tester,I'd buy buy 3 doz POC...spined but not weight matched..

Cut in self nocks...wrap with dollar store sewing thread,poly over the thread...fletch with anything you can get cheap.

Orange spray paint and poly or just seal over them with poly unpainted.

Screw on wingnut to the end.

Done.

Kill bunnies.

I make mine, but understand your pain.  It is an investment.  Check Rob's & Wannabe1's threads on making inexpensive arrows.  I don't make a specific "bunny arrow" in the sense I turn out cheaper or less worked on arrows.  I use the same arrows for bunnies as I do for deer or targets.  They just end up being from a mis-matched bunch of odds and ends - my "tired" arrows.  If they run out or I'm feeling frisky I use my best matched arrows.  But then I stump shoot at least once with every one of my "good" broadhead tipped arrows so I know they fly well and hold up.  I just make sure it's a soft stump first.

Bunnies are a smaller target than deer.

I've got about a dozen wild rose shafts drying so far that cost me nothing but the original cost of pruning shears used to cut them. So to answer your question...mother nature...

[JamesJamison]

I was wondering the same thing, when I get my new bow in, I want to take it out and shoot it in the woods all time, at least as much as my budget allows me to replace the messed up arrows.

ill be honest, i really didnt want to have to kill the plan and work up to get a shaft i can use. i just wanted to buy the shafts themselves.
and james if you shoot anything like me....... well your gonna need ALOOOOT of arrows
