River cane dart shaft material
« on: August 19, 2008, 09:34:00 PM »
I have been looking for some river cane to make atlatl darts, I have used up all my inventory?  Does anyone have any for sale 6' or so ??   Cane makes terrific atlatl darts, with turkey vanes.   thank you.

What size cane do you need (diameter)?  Ido not have any but it might help to say.

Go to Lowe's and check their gardening supplies.  I got some "tomato stakes" that would probably fit the bill for what you want.  Too big for arrows, but would probably make great atlatl's

atlatls need alot of spring. those garden stakes will be too stiff.

family man they don't have any around the house?

I have an unlimited supply here. but its not cut or dry.

I just bushhogged a whole bunch of cane about the size of your thumb and 6-10 feet tall.  If that is what you are looking for, I've got a lot more.
