Thanks

David, You might be a bit north for the native canes but introduced cane are probably in your area that would be suitable for arrows. You may have to do a bit of foot work in wild areas to see if any are available. You can also call your county ag agent and see if he knows of any.

thanks pat i got this crapy cane like material once but it didnt work and worse i had to sneak around cause it was private property

Pat B:
Someone recently posted a place in Fla you can buy bundles of cane to make arrows. I think it is near Mullet's house. You might also be able to trade someone for a few dozen cane shoots from their bundle.There are other options like red osier dogwood or viburnum that grow near you that make excellent arrows.

dmann:
i didnt know that dogwood grew near me, i thought it grew out west
