best bamboo for arrows?
DC:
Do some investigating as to how much a pot will stunt the growth. I planted Fargisia scabrida in the ground 5 years ago. It's just the last year that I got some nice shafts out of it. If it was in a pot it would still be small. Think big pot. Possibly old bathtub or an old hot tub. Or new ones If you're made of money ;D I grew bonsai for 15 years so I've dealt with pots. One thing I learned is that potted plants need water every day or so and you can't rely on friends and neighbours to do it if you go away. If you do you'll come home to dead plants.

ok so i just finished researching how a much a pot stunts grown but couldn't really find anything and unfortunately im not made of money :P i guess ill just plant some in a pot and use the time to practice on other arrow shaft-y type stuff.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT..... i just read that japaanese arrow bamboo does well in pots ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D is also cold tolerant and even shade tolerant ;D ;D ;D ;D
DC:
I reserve the right to be wrong but doing well and growing to full size may be two different things. Give it a shot. If you are putting it in a pot you're not risking your backyard.
Dante_F:
im hoping that doing well means grow to good size
