Anyone use rivercane/bamboo arrows?
« on: May 03, 2010, 10:56:00 PM »
I'm working on a bamboo backed bow and planned to make some bamboo arrows for it when i was done. I have a box of 300 or so shoots to go through so i figured i would be able to find some decent shafts out of the pile. I would really like to see some pictures of the ones you have or any tips you have on making them. I've  seen a couple of build-a-longs for this but would still like to see more pictures.

Thanks
Adam

Here are the first ones I made. Got the cane off the ditch bank near my home. I was very surprised how straight you can get em and how well they fly. I shoot 3 under so I cut my nocks so they act like a snap nock. Fletched them with dyed natural turkey feathers from the ST. JUDES auction. Paul<><

It would almost be a shame to shoot such good looking works of art.
