Possible arrow material ID help
Pat B:
Well DarkSoul, you win the prize with the pine cone willow gall. I could tell the small reddish growth was a gall but I have never heard of a pine cone willow gall. Thanks for the info.
Like Hillbilly said, willow will make an arrow but wild rose or red osier will work out better for you.
Talonzz:
Thank You all For the help on this... I really appreciate it.
I'm gonna give theses a try and keep searching for other material. Most of my land is pasture for the horses so I don't have much to choose from.
Thanks Again ;D
Found it...
Salix irrorata Andersson
(Bluestem Willow)
Pat B:
Check around creeks, ditches and border areas for other shoot materials. The birds do a great job of distributing seeds to these areas.
billy:
That looks like young willow shoots. I've never made arrows from it but if that's all you've got, then give it a try.
staveshaver:
You should cross reference it against a plant called ''mule fat'' that is what it looks like to me anyway. I don't know if it is good for arrows but it is great for hand drill fire .
