They're not that hard to make yourself, Bronek. I just made some (because I'm now gonna be spear/archer) recently without any guidance save for pictures posted on the Wiki here: http://geddon.org/index.php/Numenorean_Arrow . If you plan to make several, don't use the Edhellen arrow kits because it gets expensive.

Basic ingredients:

Arrow shaft+nocks+vanes (I get them from camofire.com, they have regular hunting deals every day and arrows sometimes show up for cheap. I scored 2 dozen carbon arrows for $50)
Penny
Duct Tape
Ozark Trail Blue Camp Pad
Cloth Tape from D!ck's (stupid word filter)
Fabric
Glue Gun
Green foam from JoAnn's

first off, the kits from edhellen are like $3; definitely not too expensive and a ton less work. also, the green foam from joanns sucks * for arrows. Use the kits, and follow the instructions.

The JoAnns foam is less dense than Edhellen foam. However, this can be compensated for by increasing the thickness of the head.

sorry, i don't want to shoot basketball sized arrows. Just use the kits; its infinitely easier and not more expensive at all.

I have some I’ll sell. They are made with the edhellen kits. Carbon arrows with soft plastic fletchings. A few of the fletchings have come off but I have some fletch-tight so I can put em back on. I will include 7 arrows, the fletch-tight, any extra fletchings I have and my “quiver” (which is a leather drill holster) for $95 plus shipping. I can bring them to Equinox. PM me if you are interested.

Edit: I found 2 extra fletching and a spare edhellen kit.

also on the joanne green foam the lesser density make them break down faster, you can try to compinsate with thicker foam but then it will fail on compression slouch (where the open cell leans to the side) i built 12 arrows while home for chaos wars, and the price to build those right with the home made stuff dossn't compinsate for how much faster they break down. go with the edhellen kits
