Crafting arrows

arrows were generally mass produced taking crafting in multiple disciplines to accomplish
Smiths can make an arrowhead in about 30 minutes
Then you need fletchers for attaching the feathers and arrowheads
Wood workers for creating arrow shafts and straightening them
Given the correct training and tools an arrow took less an 2 hours to make, but 3-5 artisans and several different workshops to pull off

In the wild you're likely dealing with stone/flint arrow heads and wild found shafts which look straight.
So penalties against metal armors, less penetration, range is really impacted with the poor fletching/arrow shafts etc
