Ben Meadows Bamboo

(1/7) > >>

zeNBowyer:
Just  got  my  shipment  of  500  shafts  from  Meadows,  and by  reccomendation I  ordered the  3/8ths  size, 
I'm no  expert with  bamboo  shafts  but  I  would  be  very  suprised  if more than 20% of these  shafts  would  spine  out stiff  enough  for my 50-60 # bows, this  might  be  an  expensive  mistake, the  shipping  was  more  than  the stakes~

zeNBowyer:
Made  up a starter  arrow from  this pile  of bamboo  to  see  how  they  fly,
wow
   There  is something  very unique  about  bamboo, these  shafts  should  be folding  over  but they flew like  steel darts and  hit  with  authority, smacking  the  target, went  from  a  53#  bow all  the  way  up  to  60# and a 175 gr  arrow  tip weight waiting  for  a  slap  or  break but the  heaviest  tip  shot  straight  and  true, even  though I didn't  get  all  the  kinks  out  perfectly,
   and  the  self   nocks are  suprisingly strong,
seems  to  be  a  heavy  shaft, can  see why they  hunt so  good  now:)

 We told you so! ::) ::) ::) ;D ;)

 That is why Chris Cade and a few of us hunt with longer arrows. Tonkin, even spined heavy will work in different weight bows.

 Did you accidently find the stiff side or did you know how to find it?

zeNBowyer:
I'll  take  my  crow  with a  kamakazi,  thanks:)
