Can a freind in IFG guide me to a source for the supply of Carobon or Fibreglass arrows in south and central India?

Try G.Smith, Pune http://www.gsmithco.com/archery.htm

I havent really tried any of their products. You can try asking 'Hellfire m16' he's bought his crossbow from G.Smith.

I checked with them but they said they have stopped making them due to climate problems in compound mixing. Bows they still make but in fibre glass

Hello Freinds, No help?
I am surprised that in a country that invented the archery and made it popular through the epics( Ramayan & Mahabharat) I am unable to find a supplier for the arrows!

You can contact Stikage, they have a stock of arrows. They are located in Delhi (close to Uttaranchal, presuming thats where you are from your location details) and their website is www.stikage.com , I have used their aluminium arrows and found them to be good.

Quoting an excerpt from their webpage-
  1. ARROWS (BAMBOO) SET OF 10 pcs 825.00 INR
  2. ARROWS (Fiber-glass)-IMPORTED SET OF 5 pcs 1,075.00 INR
  3. ARROWS (Aluminum)-IMPORTED SET OF 5 pcs 1,375.00 INR

My bad, I saw UA, on your avatar's location indicator so I thought you were from Uttaranchal
You can call them up and enquire about postage/duties, contact numbers are available on their website.
