Weapons are essential if you’re trying to survive in Sons of the Forest. Without a good weapon, you will surely fall prey to the cannibals and mutants that roam the island. At the start of the game, you’ll be able to craft yourself a bow, but you’ll need a few arrows to go along with it. Later in the game, you can find a compound bow to increase your firepower. Again, you’ll need a few extra arrows to make this worthwhile. This guide will show you how to craft arrows in Sons of the Forest.
How to Craft Stone Arrows in Sons of the Forest
The first type of bow you can build in Sons of the Forest is a simple wooden bow made from sticks, tape, and string. While it’s not the best weapon you can get your hands on, it’s definitely better than the basic items you start the game with. After crafting this bow, you’ll need a few arrows to shoot. To craft them, you will need the following materials:

Rocks and sticks are easy to find on the island. All you have to do is walk and look at the ground. Eventually, you will collect all the stones and sticks needed for the arrows. Birds can be found everywhere, but you’ll have to run and hit them to get their feathers. These arrows can only be used with the standard bow and will be automatically equipped when you equip the bow.

How to Make Fiberglass Arrows in Sons of the Forest
The other types of arrows you can get are fiberglass arrows. These are meant to be used with the compound bow that you can find later in the game. If you craft these arrows and try to use them with the standard wooden bow it won’t work, so make sure you to have the compound bow before making these arrows.

Fiberglass arrows can be made on any 3D printer found on the island. These printers are located in the maintenance bunkers marked with green dots on the map. You will need the shovel to access each of these areas. Once inside, you can interact with the printer to craft arrows for the compound bow. Each set of four arrows will cost you 50 Printer Resin. Not a bad investment for this deadly weapon.
