Rivercane arrow question

(1/3) > >>

Woody roberts:
I picked up some river cane this weekend. My question is since most have at least some taper which end is the nock on?

Pat B:
Nock on the small end, head on the big end. Cane and hardwood shoots are naturally front heavy aiding their flight.

Woody roberts:
Thanks, I was pretty sure of that but wanted to confirm

Pat B:
Woody, don't forget to post pics when you are done.  :OK

I foreshaft my cane arrows too... some don't .. I feel it gives them a better FOC since they are so lightweight to begin with (natures carbon)and enables you to run a higher spine shaft since the foreshaft brings it back down.. they seems to fly better also... not too mention it is easier to replace a foreshaft than build an entire arrow... I also like to use a node on nock end... still wrap with sinew .. never had a cane arrow split that way... orientation of cane can also affect spine... cane is so easy to spine.. once you find your spine you can spine by  hand pretty easily.. it is also quite spine tolerable... 15lbs difference and still flies as should... incredible arrow material.... and so easy to straighten... gut
