Medieval arrows

There are quite many traditional archers around here and I'd like to have a look at your traditional arrows, well, the one that are not made of any modern material at least...

As for me, I make wood arrows and bamboo arrows.
Here are my medieval arrows (a bit elvish...):

I shoot them either with my longbows. I made some barrelled ones with very tiny feathers especially for long range shooting at the marks.

Beautiful! I will show these pictures to my girlfriend later, as she has been bitten by the traditional archery bug.

Many thanks ! Even though it is common to loose arrows at thr marks, I found it cool to make them good looking. The barrelled ones were very long to make...
