 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Is it a split wood shaft with a touch of heartwood or a shoot?

I think the dark spot was throwing us off. I make a lot of sourwood arrows, don't think I've seen one with red in it like that.

Now that I look close I can see the leaf scars. The color stripe is a great camo. I missed it completely. ::)

A lot of times with sourwood shoots cut in the summer, you get a cool streaky purple-ish color.

They resemble white oak acorns (Quercus alba), but seem to have more tapered bases than our white oaks. I'm not familiar with all your Floridian oak trees, though.

Quercus virginiana, Live Oak. Located from SE Virginia along the coastal areas down to and around Fla and west to Texas. In the S.E. US it was prised for wooden ship building. The limbs were picked for their shapes, cut to actual size, drilled , mortised and tenons cut then it was placed in the salt marsh for a year where it mineralized. It was cut beforehand because it couldn't be cut after it came out of the salt marsh. ;D    Pat
