Ironman verdict

Where the materials come from: Elder longbow (unstrung) (made with 95 Fletching); Bowstring (sold by Uglug's Stuffsies for 100 coins). Making ten takes 10 × Elder longbow (unstrung) and 10 × Bowstring and gives 1,164 Fletching XP. Reaching level 95 Fletching takes 8,771,558 XP in total; the Fletching calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fletching guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Elder longbow: Elder longbow (sighted). It is worn in the two-handed weapon slot at tier 90 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Two-handed weapons list. Elder longbow is members-only. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 5,184 coins.
