Shoot shafts
Mesophilic:
Thanks, Art, I'll give it a try.
This is pretty addictive, I'm tryjng to locate more wild rose bushes but have only turned up some little scrubby ones so far. Also keeping an eye out for black currant, but like wise only scrubby ones, too.
Hawkdancer:
Art, always glad to hear from them that "have been here, done that"! Saves the new guys time and effort if they listen and learn!
Mesophil, those black currants make good mead properly mixed with honey and yeast, and some water! If you find them, water them! However, I understand that one species of currant is a host/vector for blister rust. Blister rust control meant chopping out currants, which in turn affected wildlife!
Pat,
I haven't had a shoot so far out that I could say it was a flyer - yet! I guess I have been playing "Kentucky Windage" too long! Of course, it helps to number the arrows! (SH) >:D

Good or bad, these shoot arrows have a certain potential, and that potential can and often does change with different bows. Sometimes you can do everything exactly right with shoot arrows, and they won't live up to expectations. But find the right bow, and they can surprise you. I know when I hunted, I had to match the arrows to the bows. I liked hunting with multiple bows, and that meant multiple sets of arrows...…...Art

The trick is to find good bushes and 'coppice' them. 2nd growth is straighter. 3rd growth even better.

...and don't forget to harvest only 2nd year growth or older for shafts.
