We charged £2 for six arrows at our local village fete recently. We had people queuing up most of the time.

At our local show last year we charged £1 for 6 arrows and could not keep up with demand. Tempted to push it to £1 for 3 arrows this year.

Advice: Get plenty of helpers, we were exhausted at the end of the day.

When we do have a goes (Hags as they are know in the club) we charge £1 for 5 arrows. We used to do 3 arrows for 50 pence but as most of the time for each customer is explaining how to shoot the amount of time was not much shorter.
Most of our sets of arrows are in groups of six,5 arrows means that we can be sticking fletchings back on without losing the whole set

Hope this is of use, Mark Huff

Typically £1 or £1.50 for 6 arrows. Depends a little on the audience.

I agree that doing just 3 arrows is more time consuming, so would recommend 6's (most of our sets are 8 arrows)

We charged £1.50 per 6 at the Wolvercote village festival - had nearly 100 people cough that up. People were still joining the queue at 5 when the other stall holders had packed up and gone home.

Charge 'em £3 - and only count 'good' arrows....make the little 'uns work to get the most for their money....or charge £2 and be so impressed with their first six arrows that they can another 6 for nowt.....hand out club details to those that 'you think have some developable ability!
