emergency arrow making

[Timelord]

I believe the original query asked how to make emergency arrows. This would infer that he is not asking about a ready made "prepared" stash or the like. So it is no use pointing out the obvious that prepared stuff is better than non prepared stuff. By the way this last ideology completely misses out the possibility that an individual may be isolated far from any preps and then wishes to make an emergency archery set to hunt some local goats. Without feeling the need to unload vast quantities of superior and side tracked knowledge I am sure we can answer the original question satisfactorily. Safe travels, TL.

Also, why is the fixation on "wood" arrows in the traditional sense. Lateral thinking is an important aspect of prepping. There are other items out there in the modern environment that could be used for expedient arrows/shafts, that don't need straightening or coppicing. Items that could be found in a building structure or an engineering unit or a mechanics garage or a supermarket or a vehicle or a piece of street furniture or a section of electrical conductor or a piece of steel fencing or part of a caravan chassis running gear or from a CB radio shop, gardening centre, white goods ... The list and possibilities are only limited by your own imagination and inspiration to experiment. Expedient & lateral are the key words. ;-)
