I love bamboo :)

I've made only a few bamboo arrows but man are they the toughest shafts I've used. After they are heat straightened and set they are nearly indestructible. I've made two from home grown bamboo and one from Lowes garden stake material. Home grown shafts are a touch lighter and more pronounced nodes but durability is the same.
I usually sit my target in front of a tree in the front yard and I'll miss every now and then. But my woodies will only last four maybe five head on shots to the tree trunk before splitting...dowel arrows last even less maybe one or two impacts. But these bamboo shafts will take it like its nothing leaving only holes in the bark from the impact. None have points only nails for blunts.
My friends break quite of my shoot arrows but I'm thinking I need to make some sets of bamboo arrows for them to beat the crap out of lol. So far so good and no restraightening.
I love my shoot arrows but for durability bamboo gets it hands down.

If I'm not shooting 'Boo it's carbons, there, I admitted it. And there doesn't seem to be much difference.

ive always been told that cane/boo arrows are natures carbon

I'll admit there are a few holes in the fence dividing my yard and the neighbors...arrows off target sometimes just blow clean holes through

I have broke a few,but it takes some doing. :) They are defiantly the toughest thing I have used. :)
