Jape, I hit one of Pappy's metal targets with my bamboo arrow and all it did was split from the point to the fletching. That was from about 15 yards with a 62# bow, made nice sparks. It is still shootable if I wrap it.

I am straightening Cane as I type....never done it before ....so I am going slow....got to be better that these Balsa Wood Arrows I got now!!!! You look at them wrong and they break!!!!
mullet:
Mike, when you go to cut the knock; there is a stiff side to cane. That side needs to be against the handle. You can lean the arrow, one end on the floor and the other end against a table, and with your palm applying enough down pressur to bend it slightly roll it slow. When you roll to the stiff side it will flip real fast. Mark that side and line your knock up so that is against the handle. Hope this makes sense.
Hillbilly:
The stiff sides are usually where the branches attach at the nodes(flatter side of the node).
El Destructo:
Makes good sense....will do that here in a couple days ...when I have worked all of the Ginks out of this Cane!!!
recurve shooter:
