I agree with stoli. Also you need to take shipping into account. Just make your own. Its not that hard, unless you are ten or so. Then get your dad to make it. E13.gif

Stoli, even that sometimes doesnt work. Making a little groove in the metal with a dremel did it for me. Its also hard to solder to the top part of the arrow.

Here's a tip. Get a knife and make a cut on the plexi down the line you want to make. Go over it a few times, and then secure one half of the plexi with some clamps, having the other side go over a ta ...
