Source for River Cane Shafts

(1/3) > >>

OsageBender:
I have been thinking about trying my hand at making some hunting arrows out of River Cane.  Can anyone tell me of a good place to buy some quality shafts?  Also, I read somewhere that cane arrows don't need to be spined as carefully as other wooden shafts.  Is there any truth to that?  Thanks.

DanaM:
Try trading for them on here, and yup cane or a shoot shaft is more tolerant of spine due to its natural taper.

Hillbilly:
I don't know offhand of any commercial supplier who sells native river cane shafts on a regular basis, but they can be traded for here, as Dana said. I have extras that I trade occasionally. I don't have a surplus a the moment, but I'm sure someone on here does, though. The only problem is, once you start shooting cane arrows, you won't want to use anything else. :)

P.W. Smith:
Hey - are you looking for rivercane or something like it? Because Japanese Arrow Bamboo grows by the hundreds by my house, and I'm sure I could cut a few dozen good ones for you if you've got anything to trade??

I have around a 100 river cane shafts bundled up. Would be willing to trade.
