Will Bamboo Work for 45# bow?

(1/2) > >>

dogleg:
Been thinking of buying a bale of 3/8"x4' bamboo from bamboosupply, but don't want 500 shafts too stiff for my bow.  Will the spine be low enough on enough of these to make it worth the money, or will the wife end up with a bqananza of craft material?  :)

FlintWalker:
A lot of them will work well for 45# But most will likely spine out much higher.  The good part is that most bows will shoot BB well even if it does spine out a bit high.
 Maybe KnightD will chime in.  He works with a lot of Tonkin.

Dogleg....I got 250 of them...Me and Eddie (Mullet) Split a Bundle....all of them so far have worked that I have used....they really don't seem to care what the Spine is...They shoot good on My Bows from 45 to 65 Pounds just fine....and I never Spine test them anyways....just make em ...and sort them out as I shoot them....some like different Bows too....if 500 is too many....Maybe JesseS...Venisonburger....or DanaM would be interested in some....They all live close to You....might be able to split up a Bundle that way.....Just a Thought

You can  always  sell/trade  bamboo:) 

Justin Snyder:
The way I figure it, if the shafts spine at 110# and you leave them 4 feet long, the extra length would reduce the spine to 10#. Even if the spine was way off, I think you could probably cut the length to adjust the spine to match the bow.
