Home Depot Garden Stake Bamboo Arrow Build-A-Long (Pic Heavy)
rmcpb:
This is the best build along I have seen anywhere!
I have been making some woods for a trad event that is brutal on arrows. 3D targets often surrounded by rocks or hard timber. Really sorts the men form the boys BUT make sure you take LOTS of arrows. Many are trying bamboo arrows for their toughness so, with this build along, I'll be able to come up with some really tough arrows. I think I will try footing and weighing them to match the spine and weight and FOC of my normal arrows.
THANKYOU :)

Would the bamboo garden stakes be tough enough for Crossbow bolts? 16"to 20"? Has anyone tried?

Had a looooooooong day today at home depot and after sorting and cutting 11 bags of bamboo today here is what intact to say.
1 garden shears work ok to get the shafts cut down if u r careful
2 bamboo can just plain crush and splinter under pressure
I ended up with sixty some odd shafts, seven of which may be too small in diameter...'too tired/lazy to upload pix,'will do it later.
I feelmasmcontentnasmcan be after creating so many blank uniform shafts :) gotta luv the feeling of the beginning of a great project

Some of the spots that the nock nodes are at are a little flattened from another branch sprouting from there, is there any way to round it out or should I just leave it
