Are they tonkin cane arrows?

saumensch · « **Reply #3 on:** February 23, 2012, 04:38:00 AM »

Yes, Tonkin cane, 31", 60-65#, 125 grain tip, 3x4" shield wond;

Got another set in 95-100# with 165 grain tips in 3x5" purple and pink but got now pics of em right now.

Im really impressed with the durability of these tonkin shafts, id say ap. as tough as thin carbons like the ICS Bowhunters but thats just my eperience.

I find it kinda hard though to get em in moderate weights grain per inch wise. I always end up with 12-13 gpp.

Tougher than woodpecker lips.....

I love the ones i made.....fly great and really tough! Inksoup i used a horn insert for the nocks .....cut the length from that end to get as much "meat" as i could but still have them break.....any problems with yours? I really dont want to use a plastic nock either.....

Great to see you posting again, Lance. I'm still using and admiring the armguard you made for me.

I thought I had some pix of my bamboo arrows, but I couldn't find any. I'm in complete agreement, though, they make excellent arrows.

Let me ask....are those the horn insert nocks you can buy for the cane / bamboo shafts? I was told not to trust them but sure will get some if you all arent having any trouble!!!
