rather random question

[alonewiththemoon]

Does anybody happen to have a stray archery arrow that they don't need?  One with feathers on it already, 30 inches or so, and preferably a flat broadhead point, though I could make my own point if need be.  I need one for a prop, and it occurs to me that a real one would probably be more durable than anything I could make, but many real ones are pretty expensive for something that I am going to cover in gold spray paint and glue jewels on.

I have some target arrows at home, but they are the cheap wooden camp ones with the blunt tips. The tips don't come off.

Broadhead points are pretty pricey; my dad's buddies who bowhunted always made a point of retrieving and reusing them on new shafts (if the shafts got broken). I also remember that all the broadheads I saw were like four razor blades that came together. Like these:

I had another thought on this; any museums by you of colonial life with gift shops? These types of shops usually have some stone arrowheads for sale, and they're pretty cheap.

Or you could always make one out of Sculpey or friendly plastic. Friendly plastic is mega cheap and comes in a lot of cool colors too.
