Size of cane/boo arrows.

(1/3) > >>

Tim B:
I am going to make up some Tonkin arrows and was wondering what size the nock end of the arrows you guys make is? Do you try to keep them around 5/16" toward the nocks or do you go larger?

Hillbilly:
Just depends on what size of cane spines out where you want it. With tonkin the nock is usually pretty skinny, 5/16" or less.

osage outlaw:
That is good news.  I picked up a big bundle (24 I think) of bamboo at Tractor Supply today for $2.99, and I was afraid that most of them were too small.  I was thinking that they had to be bigger.

nugget:
If they are big enough to cut a nock in I try to use them.

Tim B:
Thanks for the info. I bought a box of 500 and most of the small ends are around that size. They sure straighten real nice with a heat gun and I can't wait to finish some to shoot with my bows to see how well they hold up. The walls are nice and thick so I can't imagine them breaking very easy.
