Nice work...I'm still terribly envious of those who live where this Cane grows naturally.  I have Red Osier but I think I'd prefer the Cane.

[sadiejane]

mr slikkers-wanna trade some red osier for river cane? stick for stick?

[Lee Slikkers]

Mr. ???  (that's my father    )

Sure, I'd be happy too...if you want to drop me your preference on diameter/length, shipping addy, etc. on a PM or email that would be great.  Thanks~

Looks very good Inksoup, What kind of bow do you shoot them out of? And what is the Fletching?
Thanks,
Chuck

Looks like you did a real good job getting them straight. Where do you get the river cane? Does it grow there in Turkey?

I need to get some more, but haven't had a chance to yet. I'll get some before this fall and get a whole batch of arrow made up. I love how they fly out of my flatbow, they have a softer feel to them and seem to really absorb alot of the bow hand shock and noise from the bow. Imagine what the Indians could have done with some modern broadheads tipped on these cane shafts.

Good Job!

[inksoup]

thank you all for your complements.

re: Two Tracks;
long bow and turkish type bow i am using. and sometimes i am using my own made compound bow as well. feather are comes from pigeons.
re: SEMO_HUNTER
yes, they are in turkey. especially the red ones are stronger. if cargo will not be a problem i can send some to you.

[SEMO_HUNTER]

That's a very nice offer inksoup, thank you!

But I can get all I want not too far from my house. I would really like to see some pictures of your area where you live. I think that would be way cool. If you don't mind showing us what your home area looks like where you hunt and fish?

[inksoup]

ah, i though that you are not able to find it the place where you live. anyway.

here is where i live:

[inksoup]

on album, the first picture with barbecue, there is raki and salgam (which is red carrot juice) as well.
we say, if you do not drink raki with your fish, you will be sweared by the fish on other life.

re: getstonedprimitivebowhunt
yes sure, but the shipping will be problem since i am in Turkey. if we can solve the shipping price no problem.
re: hova
in the first picture there are 2 of red river cane.
and i am sorry but i did not understand "dont forget the big girls too..." meaning because of my lack of english. can you explain it?
