Golden Rod arrows

mullet:
  Hmmm,That's the same thing here.What i've found seems too flimsy to shoot out of 60,65# bows.

Minuteman:
Ya gotta find the ones growing over septic fields.

richpierce:
I harvested a dozen nice thick strong goldenrod shoots yesterday.  They are over 3/8" at the base.  I found the thick straight ones in a low spot where the soil is rich and damp.  I was surprised how strong they feel.  Still green in the stalk even though the heads are white and leaves are dropping off.

I took half of them and skinned them right away- the outer "bark" peels off and the leaf scars rub right off with a piece of flint.

Do you guys fit foreshafts and nocks or just use the goldenrod shaft like it was wood?

Pat B:
The horseweed arrow Jamie sent me has self nock and the head was hafted without a foreshaft.  Pat

rocker:
