Garden stake arrows

<< < (3/3)

srt:
i ordered a bundle of 500 4ft long x 3/8" dia from bamboosupply.net. they shipped me 3ft by mistake. when i contacted them about the error they shipped me the 4ft i had originally ordered and told me to keep the 3ft bundle, no additional charge. i am pretty happy with their customer service.

started culling thru the 4ft bundle last night. i sorted them into 3 piles, rejects, good, and maybe...out of the 50 or so i went thru so far, only 8 or 10 were rejects, the rest were approximately half good / half maybe. pretty good ratio in my opinion.

i have gone thru about 10 of the 3ft stakes and 6 were rejects. i dont think i looked at a large enough sample to draw any real conclusions but the ratio does not seem to be as promising for the 3ft stakes. make sure you order at least 4ft long stakes.

after i finish making some arrows i will probably order some 6ft x 1/2" dia from them for atlatl darts.

yep made a rabbit arrow out of one, just two fletch with a slate head, shoot pretty good, real thick, maybe too thick...
