dylanholderman:

little red berrys and leaves that stay green entill the frost and snow kills em, yep the crap is everywhere.  yes it will make a good bow ;)

Pat B:
Maybe Amur Honeysuckle. 
Clint, I think you are talking about fragrant (winter) honeysuckle. 

Badger:
  The one I am going to cut is called coral honeysuckle. All the staves I have worked to date were gifted to me so I don't know for sure if coral is any good or not.

osage outlaw:
We have some kind of invasive honeysuckle all over here.  It has the small red berries.  We are planning on cutting a lot of it out of our woods.  I'll watch for a piece big enough for a stave.  The property that I work at has been taken over by the stuff.

dylanholderman:
You don't need very much I've made a 45# bow from a stick that was only 1 1/4" at the handle
