Tips were tapered with a taper tool, just like with wooden arrows.

You can glue in a small dowel rod first before tapering to make the end solid.

You can purchase bamboo shafts in many different spine weights, just like wooden arrows.

Nice arrows. I like cane, but have never had much success making them. Come to think of it, my current cedar project is not looking so good, either. However, I have some decent cane shafts and some really well done stone points, so I may let your attractive work inspire me to try again.
