I was wondering the same thing. I went to buy some leather for a grip the other day and saw the boo and thought HMMMMMM.......

Folks use boo from K-Mart and Wally World for arrows so I guess Michael's boo would work. It probably ain't that expensive so give it a try.   Pat

I've bought bamboo plant stakes from our local Bell's Nursery and used 'em for arrows.  Toughest darn material I've ever seen!!  Now I just use ramin dowels from JoAnn's Fabricks.  It's a bonus that me and the wife can shop at the same time and neither is bored to tears!!

I buy bamboo plant stakes from Home Depot and Lowes and have had very good luck with it.  It really isn't very hard to make some tough shafts out of it.
