Joewaco, that looks more like Arundo donax (giant reed) or maybe Phragmites reed. They're both pretty marginal arrow material-you'll probably have to use foreshafts and nock inserts to make it work.
joewaco78:
What's a foreshaft? And how good of arrow material is this? I shoot a 55# bow currently.. I would be really upset if it blew up in my face... much less arm..
Hillbilly:
A foreshaft is a piece of hardwood attached to the front of an arrow. I wouldn't consider it to be good arrow material myself. There's bound to be something better around there.
joewaco78:
gotcha.. I will keep looking.. This was a fluke find.. And I got so excited I took a piece and lots of pics just to ask... Another friend just pmed me and said it is large reed not river cane... Darnit.. hahaha.. I will keep looking!
