Tonkin River Reed vs. River Cane.
Pat B:
I can send you pics of hill cane, Arundinaria appalachiana. It only grows here in the Southern Appalachian Mountains and like I said along the creek that runs through our property. Switch cane A. tecta, grows all over the South and Southeast as does river cane, A. gigantia. Should I send the pics to your website?
Russ:

Please send whatever you think is helpful to todd@khansarrows.com. I can see that I'm going to need to add a new section to Bamboo arrow university. Much appreciate it.

I received a dozen 50-55 spine Tonkin cane shafts from Khan's arrows yesterday for my selfbow. They are sweet! At 1st glance they looked like carbon shafts! Very straight and very consistent in diameter and taper. I tapered the nock end with a 5/16 hand taper tool and it cut them well with no splintering. I am going to bare shaft a couple to match them to my broadhead weight.
I am going to add some weight in the front to increase the FOC by drilling and gluing a think oak dowel inside. I will post pics when I get some taken. Over all very pleased with their quality!
Todd Mathis:
I would love to see how you put more weight up front. This is an an excellent idea. Please take photos? This is exactly why I started bamboo arrow university. I want archers and other arrow makers to be successful with high quality bamboo and know the difference! This is so encouraging to read and I can't wait to see the outcome. Thanks for the great comment.
