Headless arrows are used when making arrows for Ranged combat through the Fletching skill. 15 headless arrows can be made by attaching 15 feathers to 15 arrow shafts, granting 15 Fletching experience.

To finish the arrows, the player should attach 15 arrowheads to the headless arrows. The player will then receive 15 completed arrows. Players are given different Fletching experience based on the metal type of arrowtips they use (Bronze < Dragon). Arrowheads from the Varrock Museum cannot be attached to headless arrows.

When making headless arrows, Make-X caps at 60. This is most likely because players would be able to make an indefinite number of arrows, thereby levelling fletching while "afk", because both feathers and arrow shafts stack in the inventory.

It is possible to use Grenwall spikes to create headless arrows, but this is not recommended as they are much more expensive than arrow shafts.
