Just my two cents, its cheaper on resources if you save your feathers for some of the later arrows like fire, frost etc then the flint. Get your arrow levels up, it helps big time. When I kept firing a wooden at a long distance (essentially a surprise attack) it always felt like it improved my levels.

I tended to get a perfect area to just keep firing at NPC that kept spawning. Doing run away when needed. BTW you can improve your skill by just shooting a rock but not as fun. lol

Getting feathers on a wet night or during burial chambers were slow so I tended to horde my feathers for really good arrows. Now that I team with a few people as a group this works more since I switch to shield and weapon rather then arrow. I haven't been doing too much solo anymore. Other then exploring the map for new areas.

Thanks for the info, good to know. I'm in a trio mainly and one of us seems to exclusively fire wooden arrows, just not as effective against trolls! I'm the one using the shield too, just need to get better at parrying.
Thanks again for the tips.
