Vard,

	If you need arrows, try FS Discount Archery at

http://www.fsdiscountarchery.com/   or  1-800-824-8261 

They are pretty quick and can send you pre-assembled, wood shaft arrows.   

If you have old arrows you no longer want, are you (and anyone else) willing
to donate them at Emerald Joust for the flaming arrow.  I suspect that any
arrows that successfully strike the "invading rafts" to set them aflame will
not live to see the recovery crew.

Setting aside (only for a moment) the "who's geekier" thread, I need help to

quickly locate a decent source for arrows.

The arrows I've been using were initially purchased w-a-a-y back in 1990,
and 
in the last year have started to really show their age.  Some are warped, 
some have had their fletchings torn up, and many of them have lost their 
tips, leaving me with only 4 or 5 useable arrows.  Thus, I've not been able 
to play yet this year.

Twice earlier this year I thought I was hooking up with a nearby group to
get 
in on a group purchase.  The first time, the supplier went out of the 
business, and the second time, the buy coordinators got so busy planning an 
event that they decided to cancel the order.  (I didn't learn about the 
latter for weeks.)  With Lillies War coming fast (less than a month), I'm
out 
of time and have no known sources to turn to.

I don't have the time to order piece parts, learn the art of arrow making, 
and assemble my own ammo.  I need to order a dozen or two pre-made bubbas to

get me through the archery season and I need to do this tout suite.  (Well, 
my dictionary tells me it's "tout de suite", but I've never heard the "de" 
pronounced, much less seen it written.)

Does anyone know of any decent source(s) for SCA-type arrows?  Quick, 
dependable, experienced, and not terribly expensive are all good things, and

since there's a bit of time pressure, being able to handle this via phone or

email is likely a requirement.

Replies either private or via the Merry Rose are fine, I read both.

Thanks!
