I have seen many beginners try for the first time. Of course, they're all told to master archery on the ground before beginning aerial archery training. I know how most people do when they're still handling the basics.

You're doing remarkably well, for someone who doesn't have much experience with bows. There's a lot of improvement ahead of you, yet you already have a decent enough base to learn from.
[Like the next day or so Revali would be so glad Rochalizo said that. There aren't that many materials for arrows down at the bottom of the sea!]
That is a decent suggestion. If you're confident enough in your craftmanship I can show you how to make one. I should warn you the process will take a while -- but any self-respecting archer must know how to make them.
[He speaks as if Rochalizo had pledged to spend the rest of his life walking the path of the archer]

Try not to waste arrows while you're here. Recover them whenever you can.

I can provide you with some if you need them.
[He has spent so many hours making arrows, seriously, it's pretty much his way to pass the time. By now he has a decent stash of them!]
