Different examples of the arrow brush following the circular path (different sizes, jitters and angles) - experiment with different settings (as well as any of the different arrow brushes).
Use the right side menu 'stroke path' in the path palette.
Arrow brush circle path examples The following images are examples of a number of different brush strokes applied to a circle using the follow path approach discussed above - such as Random jitter applied to the angle; Angle at 90 degrees to the original; Two paths instead of one; Use size fade option with setting of 30; Jitter the size of the brush via the size jitter; The arrow brushes can then be re-used as defined as a new brush via the edit menu 'define brush command'
You can apply the brushes to layers and apply layer effects / styles such as gel or metallic effects to create metal arrow brushes. Once the arrow is applied to a layer, you can also use the transformation tools to scale the layer as well as rotate the layer and also warp the layer. The layer effects can also be applied via the layer menu so you can add a quick shadow to the brush stroke. As the arrow brush is a layer, you can duplicate the brush layer to create additional brush strokes. The arrow brushes can be applied and modified for comps via the layer comp panel. As a layer, the arrow brush strokes can also be hidden as well as re-layered via the layer palette. Applying the brush strokes all in one go to a single layer is probably the easiest approach but with a little careful planning and a shortcut or two, you can use the layers and Photoshop brushes to create truly stunning arrow themed designs that can be modified and edited at any point in the creative process. This also, as mentioned in the 3D section, allows for 3D brush strokes as well as conversion to smart objects which means effects can be applied to the Photoshop arrow layer (and these effects can be modified at any point)
Use the rotation setting to rotate the brushes - you can either enter the angle setting to change the angle for the arrow brush in Photoshop or you can drag the arrow position in the brushes palette - personally I find it easier just to remember to enter 90 degrees or 45 degrees and also the angle field also allows a more accurate setting - say you want to set an angle at 34 degrees and that is a lot easier to enter than drag a circle.
Alternatively, you can always apply the arrow brushes to a layer and then use the transform features to rotate the layer in Photoshop (set the 'show transform controls' to on for the layer). This is effective if you wish to rotate an entire layer of brush strokes but not so useful per brush (unless you create each arrow brush on a new layer)
The sets also include PNG files and they are the same as the strokes included in the ABR files. The arrow PNG files can be loaded into Photoshop as well as Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro (PSP) and many other software. You can use the arrow PNG files as a source for brushes for PSP etc though the actual approach to adding them varies from application to application. In PSP, you can load them direct from the brush tool / options palette. The arrow brushes PNG files can also be used just as a layer. If used as a layer, the arrow designs can also have layer effects (styles) applied to the designs. The arrow PNG files can be re-colored, exported, blended, used to create shadow effects as with the spiral arrow brush to the left. You can also convert the arrow brush to a new format such as GIF or TIFF or JPG and even vector if you wish (the files do not have to remain in PNG format). You can find many applications on the web - some better than others. To use the results in commercial work, you will have to probably find a paid for application such as PaintShop Pro as many conversion applications add various legal requirements / usage.
Cross arrow pattern below created based on an arrow brush. With the latest release of Photoshop CS6 and the new fill options for the creation of truly weird and wonderful patterns (via scripting), the arrow brush strokes to patterns can be used to create even more amazing designs such as frame patterns as well as even 3D effect pattern designs and spiral themed designs (if you use the transparency that comes with a brush stroke).

Select the custom shape tool and apply a shape (arrow shape from pack 164).
example on the left shows the arrow before being sketched
Now fill the entire document with white by using the edit fill command. Once filled, go to window menu and history and set the source for the history brush to the arrow custom shape line. Now go to the history brush tool and select a brush stroke in the brush palette (example here is from the brushes collection gel brushes from graphicxtras) and apply the history brush stroke to the empty document - you will now see the arrow re-appear but sketched
example on the right shows an arrow shape re-created using history brush and gel brush stroke in Photoshop.
As the history brush allows for no color, the only color comes from the original history state - so a quick and easy way to create a colorful sketched design would be to apply the initial custom shape multiple times with multiple different colors and then to apply the history brush multiple times with each of the different color history states
example on the left shows arrow design now with multiple colors applied to using the gel brush stroke from the brushes collection for Photoshop
One issue with this is that you have to remember the visible states in the history palette is limited. Set the number of history states visible in the history palette via the performance preferences dialog.
example (on right) shows the preference palette where you can set the history states setting, increasing or decreasing the number of items saved. Added: January 2nd 2012 Free arrow brushes sampler / demo
