Arrows are weapons, made by smiths, and technically weapons require shatter effects to break. Breaking arrows on a 3 count (or even a 1-count like at this event) is the same thing -rules wise- as me going up to you, grabbing your spear, and saying I break your spear on a three count. If you want to be anal about the rules.
But there is precedent in action for breaking arrows because of NPCs in the past doing this at Jericho and not being reprimanded for it. People argue for it because in reality arrows are frail and can break after wear.
My ideal solution to this is that all arrows simply expire after 3 months from the making date, so that you have to buy arrows 4 times a year to manage the upkeep costs of being able to shoot for silver or iron really cheaply (as opposed to making silver weapons) and to keep the realism of arrows not lasting forever.
This would need a rulebook edit in Jericho, but I'm not sure what sort of autonomy Ralinwood has with regards to rules implementation on this scale.
