Rose shoots for arrow shafts?

Nope, thats not it. Bark is all wrong. Thanks for the try on ident!

HEy Dave!!
YEah dude, I know the wild rose you're talking about. I've found it in Oregon in the dry side of the cascades. IT grows really straight and has tons of needle-like thorns all over it. I've used it for arrows and it works great. Second year growth is much better. Dave Cheney and Steve Allely use syringa, but wild rose is also really, really good. Oceanspray is also an excellent arrow material.
Hope you're doing well over there!

D. Tiller:
Doing great Billy! Yep! Thats the one! You wouldnt happen to know what the species is?
Things here are good. Just got back from the Tenn. Classic. You have got to join us all there next year. It was a heck of a good time. I will try and get Keenan and Dave to come allong too. Think you can make it?
