Honey suckle
Allyn T:
Anyone ever try bush honey suckle for shoot arrows? I just cut a bunch and I'm gonna try it but I was curious if anyone else has given it a whirl
WhistlingBadger:
I've been curious about this, too. My yard is just lousy with the stuff and I'd love to trim it back. I can tell you, it makes really nice smelling firewood!
Allyn T:
It's so invasive around here, if it turns out well I'll have a lifetime supply of good arrow material.

Yeah, same here! Keep us posted! I've been reading a bit, and some people over on paleo said it makes good shafts but not as strong as the more common woods. If you google "honeysuckle bow," you'll find that quite a few people have made bows from the stuff, but I think they're using other species than bush honeysuckle.
Pat B:
Cut a bunch, bundle them together and give them a few months. By then you should be able to tell.
