The best stones for making arrowheads include flint, chert, obsidian, jasper, quartzite and other stones that are somewhat brittle and have a fine-grained, uniform texture that is free of cracks, fissures, and fractures. Glass and porcelain can also be used. You can also tap the stone and listen to the pitch.
In early times, arrows were fashioned from various types of wood for the shaft, feathers for the fletchings, and rock or bone was used for the arrowheads. Lighter weight woods resulted in arrows that shot straighter and faster, but had a greatly reduced level of penetration.
