New to arrowmaking, question?
JackCrafty:
In my experience, the best arrow material that grows in the Austin area is Roosevelt weed. It grows all over the place and is MUCH stronger than goldenrod. It dries quick too, without checking.

I don't specifically recall seeing any of that stuff before. Do you know a place I can start my search?
Thanks,

Looks like Salt Cedar almost.....hey and they work for arrows too...so I have been told anyways........ ;)
JackCrafty:
Crumrw, that weed grows along fencelines and in empty lots with poor soil. It grows all up and down Rt 360 on the sides of the road....especially where there are road cuts through the limestone. Look for it in ditches as well. It also grows all around the Dell campus in Round Rock. Tell me where you are (north, south, east, or west Austin) and I'll try to direct you to a patch close to you.

I'm two blocks west of the UT campus. Thanks for the guidance.
