Does anyone make arrows out of plants found in Oregon?

I know that some of the American Indians made arrows out of ocean spray shoots. I have some drying to give them a try.
But I was wondering if there was any other plants that grow here in Oregon that would work. Thanks, David

stringstretcher:
Not real sure, but don't you have red osier dogwood there snag?

snag:
Boy, I don't know. I know we have dogwood...have to look into what type?

ErictheViking:
hazel and big leaf maple shoots should make good arrows. 

sharpend60:
We have ocean spray, wild rose and red osier.
Those three are great but my favorite is....
Service berry shoots!

All four could be had less than a block from my home in wetland area...
Until last week, they leveled the whole place!
Sure irritated me I tell ya.

Ive tried salmon berry but it's too light and a lil weak...I'm sure there are many hidden gems native to the area.
