If you are having trouble making arrows, I would advise you to make a stack of wood arrows with which to shoot every boar and bird you come across, The birds will not take flight as soon as seeing you when it is stormy out, so roaming around the meadows area during storms might help get more feathers.

I often over-prepare, which makes my progress much slower. I'm also a hoarder and I grab everything I can all the time. I have one chest full of feathers, another with a row of feathers and a row of boar hides, and another chest with a row of flint arrows and the other row with poison/iron/wood. I always keep a stack of fire arrows in my inventory, using them only for trolls, and usually 2 stacks of flint (or one flint, one wood). Try to only use the lowest tier arrows when not hunting anything powerful.

Hope that helps!
