another river cane question

<< < (2/2)

Hillbilly:
It's all good.:) I usually put the nock at a node because then you have a clear no-noded area to put the fletching on unless you have cane with really short internodes. I don't think it makes a lot of difference strength-wise as long as you wrap the nock like you would with any material-cane is tough, tough, tough.

Mechslasher:
if you are going to spine the arrows for a certain poundage, then the nodes should not be concidered for placement.  they will fall where they will. i, like hillybilly, try to have the first seven to eight inches clear at the nock end so the fletchings will lay down smooth but it's not important.  i just sand the nodes down so the shaft is smooth and even if a node falls under the fletching.

ricktrojanowski:
Mechslasher- I just checked out your site WOW :o.  Those are some amazing arrows. Not to mention all of the other goods.

deersled:
thanks alot guys. this makes things a little simpler. I was wondering how to cut the cane so they spined correctly and I had a node at one end, if that makes sense. Probably not.

mullet:
   when I cut Boo, I try to cut it about 4' long, just in front of a node and just a ways behind. And like Chris and Hillbilly, let it fall where it has to.
