Blackberry arrow shafts?

<< < (2/2)

TimBo:
I wouldn't think blackberry would be strong/rigid enough.  If you feel like getting abused by your arrow source material, multiflora rose is much better! 

M2A:
Doubt blackberry would hold up as well as other materials, large pith in that stuff. And I would think that you'd want to harvest them a bit larger than other shoot shaft materials. Some time ago I watched a a fella on you tube, think it was tribeofbenjamin talk about them. He talked highly of it and that surprised me. Maybe check into his information. A hardwood forshaft could really help I would think. If you do try I'd be interested in what you think.

I made arrows out of the stuff as a kid, nice enough, but wouldn't put more than 10# behind a shaft of that stuff.
