Our Hunger Games inspired bows wouldn't be complete without arrows to go with them, so today we'll be building an arrow like the one Katniss used in the opening scene of the Hunger Games movie. While this is mainly a display arrow, it will shoot and I personally use arrows of this style (minus the chicken feathers) fairly often.
The arrow shaft is a wooden dowel, though any type of shafting can be used. Perfectly straight-grained and flexible 5/16" poplar dowels will work in PVC bows up to 50 pounds. If your bow is heavier, use a stiffer shaft to start with. 3 Rivers Traditional Archery is a great place to find traditional arrow-making supplies.
The broadhead is simple, made from a 20 gauge, 3 and 1/8" x 9" tie plate. The length can vary, the width should be 3 and 1/8". It's a little on the soft side, but still holds a good edge and is fairly durable. Most times the broadhead can be hammered flat if it ever does bend. It works best with soft targets.
The feathers are chicken, which are not my usual fletching material. They bunch up really bad, which is what the movie prop arrows did as well, so here it is a plus. If you plan on using the arrows regularly, I suggest skipping on chicken and the tied hemp twine and just glue on some turkey feathers.
Thanks for watching and enjoy!
