Discount Arrows

Post by Daerir »

Does anyone have links to arrows by the dozen for around $50? I used to have one on eBay but I deleted it by mistake.

I like self nocks, and black fletches. If possible, maybe dark shafting but not necessary.

Self-nocks for $50 is going to be hard to find. There's this store on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/longbowmaker8 ... d=15913338

For self-nocks it looks like it varies from $55-70, but the store owner is in China, so you might be waiting on shipping for a while...

I haven't looked at the link, but just to throw this out there, Arrows coming from China, 99% of the time, will be spined for anything and everything, which will nix consistency.

Not $50 but $70 for a dozen http://www.dmerrill.com/page.php?funct=as&pName=Arrows It is the best deal I know for quality semi custom arrows for the lowest price. Though these are not self nock.

Nemo got some self-nock arrows from that vendor. He talks about them here - http://ranger.budgetauthenticity.org/fo ... ilit=Arrow

I think they ended up being $90ish for a dozen with self-nocks.

LOL, I just remembered that he had done self nock for someone here and was going to look up and post a link to the thread. Thanks for adding the link to that thread.

On the alternative, you might be able to get someone to make you a set of arrows for fairly inexpensive without nocks altogether, and then you could cut the nocks yourself. It's really not as hard as it sounds, and it could probably save you a chunk of change.

Thanks for the links replies folks. I like that customizable website and $70 is still good for a dozen. Upon my creation, I noticed that there are "Other" options in a few categories so I figured I would just include a note for self nocks. Now I need to gather some funds :lol: :lol:

PS I'm willing to accept donations lol!!

I got a set of a dozen arrows from Merrill wood. I really like them and they are good quality. They are durable, I only. Role one during thanksgiving but I missed my target and hit my fence when I was shooting. If it weren't for wanting self mocked arrows, I'd recommend them. Good quality, durable, and semi-custom arrows.

Not sure if you're still looking Daerir, but I figure I could add another link to this thread. I just received a set of twelve arrows with broadhead tips and self nocks from a guy on etsy for $70. He sells a multitude of bows and arrows and I am thinking about ordering a set of field tipped arrows from him as well.

What was the shipping like? I see they are made and shipped from China.

It took about a month for the order to make full circle, and the seller also requests a phone number from you. They were packed very well and came in great condition.
