Best Answer

There were many different kinds of bows and arrows in many parts of the world, and in many periods of history, and the materials used to make them varied greatly. Different types of wood or other material have been used for bows, and different materials for the bowstrings as well. The shafts of the arrows were made from some kind of wood. Metal arrowheads were used in ancient Europe, Africa and Asia. In America stones like flint and obsidian were used because metal hard enough for arrowheads could not be worked there. It all depends on when and where the bows and arrows were made. Perhaps someone more learned in the history of Archery can tell you more.
