I saw this someplace, but it was either in error, or I misinterpreted
what the headline said. Actually, only the tax on "kiddie" arrows was
eliminated. They really ought to do away with the excise tax
completely, or at least shift the proceeds to wildlife programs, since
there are only a very few wooden arrow/shaft manufacturers in the
country and it an unfair burden on some very small producers. Last year
I tried to deal with one woodworker up in New Hampshire who had made
exotic wood shafts, but he told me (though I wonder if he was being
completely frank) that he had switched to making popsicle sticks
because of the tax. I have never seen a purple heart popsicle stick.<br>

Anyway, the Rose City Archery's explanation is here:
