Shoot shafting question

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pat B:
Steve, that is a very impressive dozen arrow shafts. I remember you posting them last year. Says not only a lot about the materials used but also the maker.  8)   

sailordad:
when you say hazel nut,do you mean like the bush that the nuts grow on?
if so then they should grow in ny,they are all over here in mn. its just hard to find one that long enough before it splits off,you usually find them with a crook in them that makes them kinda "j" shaped and then to many branches coming out

Hillbilly:
Thanks, Pat. Tim, yeah, the American hazelnut is the best one. You can find big clumps of it sometimes with a lot of straight shoots. There's also a beaked hazelnut that's a lot smaller plant. It makes good shafts, too but it's hard to find shoots big and long enough on it.

ricktrojanowski:
Hillbillly Thanks for the input.  Looks like I should just do some experemienting on what I can find around here.  I went on the USDA site and it shows that sourwood is out here in eastern LI.  Now it is just finding it. ;)

George Tsoukalas:
Hillbilly, those are purely awesome shafts. :) Jawge
