wild rose arrow shafts

<< < (3/3)

boo:
im not excited about a lighter shaft but i guess illl try some when i find it. the stuff ive seen on the web looks to have very large thorns so it should be easy to find. can the center pithy area be removed easily ? would it be possible to remove it and dowel it like cane? it would add some weight if thats posible.  boo

Pat B:
Bobby, Look into any unkempt fields and you will see clumps of multiflora rose, also under power lines and along fence lines. Birds spread the seeds like with ERC so it should be easy to find.
  I guess you could add a dowel to replace the pith at each end but, like with boo, I just cut self nocks and wrap.    Pat

brownhillboy:
I have some that I collected here in VA that I'm working on.  I have one that is near finished that I will post soon.  Like some of the others said, make sure that they are large enough in diameter because after you take the bark off they are quite a bit smaller.  I'm not that good with the names of plant life, so I'm not sure if they're multiflora or what.
