So how do you make an arrow that flies? How do you make an arrow without using a dowel? In this post, Sam begins his tutorial on how he makes his completely functional arrows.
It starts with the arrow weed which he harvests from along the San Carlos Lake.
Sam then chooses the right plants to cut. You can barley see San Carlos Lake behind him. The water is very, very low right now.
He cuts the plant off near ground level.

The weeds are then trimmed and carried home. The mountains in the background are known as The Triplets.
In upcoming posts Sam will complete the arrow making process.
