With other hardwood shoots like sourwood second year growth is the ticket. The first year growth will make an arrow but they are usually flimsey. Having that extra growth ring after the second growing season really stabliizes the shafts. I also heat temper hardwood shoot shafts and that also helps to keep them straight. If you are spining your shoot arrows do it after you temper them as it will stiffen them up a bit.

Why, oh why did I cut down those 3 crepe myrtle trees in my yard?!

Nice work!
