My tonkin boo arrows all eneded up at about 525-545 with 125 gr tips. They are 29" long.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

My Tonkin cane arrows are the toughest I've ever shot.

Working up a fist full of Tonkin arrahs.
From another thread on PA, got the idea to get some shaft material from the Garden department at Lowe's.
Bamboo garden stakes, forty eight inches, picked through em to find two groups of six in two different diameter classes.

We'll see if they turn out, but what the heck, at $0.75 per shaft.
