Rivercane arrow question

(1/4) > >>

Woody roberts:
Out of curiosity what length do your cane arrows end up at. Most of my cane is not as dry as I would like and have had just a few pieces to play with.
Bareshaft tuning before I fletch it seem that 30” is a common number. Some a little shorter, some longer but it seems at 30” I can change the point weight and get them to shoot together.

Does this sound right?

Pat B:
My cane and hardwood shoot arrows are 30" for my 26" draw. I think the extra length helps the arrow get around the bow and I like the extra physical weight.

Allyn T:
Woody did you find river cane where you are at or did you buy it?

Pat B:
If you guys actually know what "river cane"(Arundanaria gigantia) is you wouldn't be touting it as good arrow material. Figure out which cane(bamboo) genera and specie you are dealing with. The botanical name is known worldwide, the common names are local at best.  Passing on good,factual information is as important with arrow shafts as it is with bow woods.

Allyn T:
Pat you don't like actual river cane?
