Cane shafts dissapointing
agd68:
Hey All.
I got my first batch of cane shafts a few months ago. Sadly I was dissappointed in them. I find my spruce shafts fly faster and more accurately. I also find that the cane seems to loose speed and drop faster than the wooden shafts. I will give them top marks for durability though,tougher than iron. Has anyone else out there found this?
El Destructo:
Nope...mine fly like Darts...and Chrony as fast...some faster than POC....I like Bamboo better though...it's denser than Cane....faster than POC...and strong as all get out
scattershot:
Depending on the type of cane, they could be heavier than you are used to. Have you weighed them? Just a thought.
Hillbilly:
I think that is an effect of heavier weight. That is a plus for me, I like heavy arrows for hunting. Those little light shafts that fly at Mach 3 look good on the target range, but they just don't penetrate like one with some weight when you're trying to stick it through a heavy rib or scapula. As far as accuracy, well-made cane arrows are every bit as accurate as commercial wooden shafts or more so if they're straight and matched to your bow.
mullet:
I like my bamboo arrows. They fly just as good as some of my carbons and are darn near indestructable.
