Some shoot shaft arrows

<< < (4/8) > >>

BowEd:
Thanks neuse....My goal was to try other shoot shafts from different parts of the country.The hill cane and sourwood came from South Carolina.The ocean spray came from Oregon.The bamboo anybodies guess is as good as mine.All I know that it does'nt grow locally.The rest were all local.

Swampman:
What a great bunch of arrows!  Thanks for taking the time to post them here.

BowEd:
Thanks Swampman....There's still a heck of a lot of other types of shoot shafts out there.

Tracker0721:
So how long do you season yours? I’m cutting ocean spray, red osier, wild rose, and there’s some what I think is another variety of dogwood.

BowEd:
A good 3 months for sure.After collecting enough over supply of them I like to let them cure for up to a year.I don't lose many arrows any more nowadays.Might sound like a long time,but after any little final heat straightening they usually stay straight.
I find most all my dogwoods here generally come out close to the same as each other.Ocean spray is very close to the same as dogwood.My multi flora rose is generally thicker in diameter at same spine as dogwoods,but mass weigh at least as much or more than dogwoods or at same diameter of dogwoods they are generally 5#s' weaker in spine.
That's figuring they are all the same length.[30" overall].It's the way I like my arrows but is not for everybody,and will still shoot fine.
If a person has a rock solid anchor it does not matter.
