Yes, he is a good friend. He has travelled widely and has quite a collection of bows and arrows.
I would really like to shoot it to see how it flies, but with the nock damaged as it is maybe I'll just look at it!
What impressed me most of all is how regular the shaft is. Like a natural carbon arrow! Distance between nodes is about 10 inches. Apparently they would pick the shafts from particular glades of bamboo that grew in the right conditions and at the right rate to give a node placement like this. which automatically gives dependable diameter, stiffness, weight and arrow length. I must go out and show my japanese arrow bamboo plants the arrow. They don't seem to have got the right ideal yet!
