question on these primitive jagger shafts

(1/2) > >>

timmyd:
went behind my in laws place yesterday and cut some of these red briar shafts. has anyone ever used these before and are they decent material for arrows?

Pat B:
Never heard of red brier. Is it one of the bramble fruits like raspberry or black berry. If so the canes are pithy. They should make a good arrow but they won't be very durable.  Where do you  live?

timmyd:
im in Western PA. I don't know what the name of them are. we have basically two types of wild brier bushes that grow in abundance in these parts. One is green and one is a dark red. these are the dark red ones and have little thorns all over them.

Pat B:
Do they have a thick, pithy center?

timmyd:
yeah they do...I'm thinking not really good?
