Joao, as you probably already know many countries in Europe don't allow hunting. Even though lots of folks here on PA are hunters not many of our European members are hunters so their knowledge of hunting equipment would be slim. You might want to try TradGang, a website for hunting archers and they have quite a few European members. That might be a better option for your request.  I'm not trying to run you off. In fact we'd like to see some of your work.  ;)

hello PatB
thanks for your answer. actually in my country hunting is allowed, but not many people do it with a bow and even less with a traditional bow.
i will try in tradgang.
i have i question, hope you dont find it too simple, but i am starting: whats the difference betwen a "hunting arrow", "target arrow" and "field arrow"? is it just the point?! or is there anything else?
you can bet that when i have something worth to be posted i will do it for sure.

best regards

Basically it is just the point but generally a hunting arrow will be heavier(10grains per pound of draw weight) for momentum and penetration. Target arrows would be lighter for flatter trajectory. I guess a field arrow would be similar to a target arrow.
 I shoot instinctively so I use only hunting arrows for everything. That way I don't have to retrain my brain when switching from hunting to target.

good and cheap hunting arrows

Not always, but usually these two adjectives don't go together. Have you considered making them yourself?

Joao, I'll try to find 23/64 pine shafts for you here in Germany. Not many suppliers make these, but some do. Maybe a friend of mine has some. Give me some time, pls.

Try looking into Bearpaw. They run out of Germany and I think you can find some European suppliers through their sight. It looks like you could actually buy direct too.

There is also Falco, from Estonia.
I know a pretty good 3d-archer who is quite happy with their arrows.
He uses fieldpoints though - so I don't know about their broadheads.
If two men are to compete, it should be in archery. As they face the same direction, trying to accomplish the same goal, it is the most civilized of sports." Confucius
