Site For Multiflora Rose

Just finished a Primitive "stone" tipped hunting arrow made from "multiflora rose"
Its my first.... Cutting shoots is a pain... You should seen my arms after that...grrr.!!! But they make a great arrow... I really like it. The wood is dense ... kind of like bamboo. Its light , but very strong. Easy to straighten too.
Never thought I'd ever find anything "GOOD" about this pesty bush .. But now I did...and I'm glad.. I bet you can get anyone to let you cut all you want.

Try it !!! I think this will be the first arrow I let fly at a DEER this Season ...Jeff

See the dark spot near head ..thats were a thorn was.

Wow! Come on over to SE PA...our Game Comm. put it in on game lands a long, long time ago and it's taking over everywhere!

Like you, can't believe there is anything "useful" about that miserable intrusive plant! I had to open and see. Nicely done.

Doc Nock ..its everywhere too in Ohio here.... I'm telling you it makes great shafts.... Look for the ones that are long shoots that don't have many thorns.. there the straightest and dense.

That is unbelievable, nice job. You can always tell which driver in our gang tried to walk thru that stuff, his clothes are shredded and he'll be bleeding!! If you should miss with one of those and lose it, try going back in the spring, it will probably be sprouting!lol

Good job! Do you glue your feathers too or just wrap the ends? I've tried the wildrose and it is good to work with. I wonder why it isn't more widely used by the primitive guy's here?

MFR is the nastiest stuff on the planet! Amazing that the deer love the stuff (and eat it as well).

It's good to hear that someone found a good use for it (other than for making an "nuclear grade" barrier).

I can say that those are "sweet" looking but that's because they aren't pointed my direction...lol

I'm sure they will be deadly when the time is right.

Thanks for sharing with us.

God bless,Mudd

the place I hunt in Coshocton County has a life time supply. Man that is nasty stuff to drag a deer out of

getstonedprimitivebowhunt · « **Reply #12 on:** September 13, 2010, 07:45:00 PM »

....more of you guys should try theses for arrow shafts...There free.. I don't think anyone will not want you to cut them ...WARNING It hurts getting them !!! lol

Ferret, Mickey Lotz made plenty of arrows from it!! I sent him a bunch from NY years ago. It was planted as a natural fence in NY in the 1920s in my area. The birds are the culprit for spreading it everywhere with their droppings. Talk to my bunny hunters about it around here, brutal stuff!! Nice arrow by the way! Shawn

Thanks Guys

That is cool.......What is the drying time before you can make arrows out of it?

Nice work Jeff!

Horner ... I think a month...I got so many I really never checked. I just took bark off a few fresh cut today ..to see how long it will take that way !

JustinNC · « **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2010, 02:52:00 PM »

It's liable to check on ya...I think Pat said maybe leave an 1"-1.5" of bark of both ends to help prevent checking?

Nice looking arrows. Been looking at some rose, but can't bring myself to do it while there is still sourwood. lol

Thanks, I will look forward to your findings on how long it takes.

I might just have to go hacking some myself. This is one of the best ideas ever.
