I'm making these arrows for a bow somewhere between 47# to 54#. This is the poundage I try to get when I'm making a new bow. The bow I hunted with this fall was 47# @ 26" but would like to try one at a few more pounds!!.
Some of the shoots will spine higher and some lower. I'll sort them out later. Not sure how heavy an arrow could be made from the shoots before they get too big!!

Neat Build-a-Long Lowell. Can't wait to see more and I too like the jig and the ingenious Heat Gun holder.

Great build-a-long. Rose shoots make good arrows. The only time-saving tip I will add is one that my wife who doesn't make arrows taught me-use rubber bands on those bundles. They tighten as the shoots shrink, and I'm more likely to take the bundles apart and hand-straighten them more often if I don't have to deal with tape or string. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build-a-long.

This might be silly but I have some over grown rose bushes around the house that the wife wants to get rid of. Will these be alright to use or are the wild roses different that the ornamental ones?
DanaM:
Good question , I would have to say no difference. If you can get some fairly stright
shoots of the appropriate diameter they should work.
