Forsythia Shafts?

(1/1)

Mark Anderson:
Has anyone ever used forsythia (yellow bush as everyone calls it in MO) as arrow material? I have cut some shafts and they are drying now. seem to straighten real easy and are pretty light compared to their strength. Big pith but no bigger than wild rose would be. Super straight and easy to get long ones up to four feet in a big bush.
Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone has used it before.

billy:
Never have....make up a set and let us know how they work.

Justin Snyder:
I would be interested to see how it works. I have cut some forsythia and butterfly bush shoots from my front yard for shafts, but have never used either of them.  Justin

Mark Anderson:
Working on a few right now!
I'll let y'all know.
Mark
