What for? Silver arrows aren't any better than Obsidian for any living enemies and the only undead enemy you fight after Moder is Yagluth who is resistant to pierce so he shouldn't be fought with bows to begin with.
Also in the Plains you can just get Needle Arrows easily which is stronger.

I don't have enough needles to do needle arrows. By the time I've killed Yagluth I MIGHT have two stacks. If I've collected it heavily, I might have a box of obsidian...usually I have only half a box. I have two boxes of silver ingots, a box of silver ore and unlimited wood...my two mainstays once I get the Drauger bow.

On Yagluth, I melee him with a silver sword...the only thing I melee in the game. On a typical run to, say, the swamp to farm bloodbags, I use 150 arrows (wood) there minimum in a game day. When we (my wife and I) clear a Fuling camp, I use ~150 silver arrows. There is not enough needles to make the arrows that I need. Obsidian would be my second choice, if I ran out of silver (which is very unlikely).

Almost 1300 hours, all of my characters have maxxed bow skill by the time I get to Yagluth...I shoot fast and a lot...no, I don't miss often, but, I often shoot insurance arrows at Fulings (the unstarred ones usually take two to kill; sometimes, one will do, but I've already let the second go before the first hit).

That's why :-)
