Cedar vs Bamboo
Mechslasher:
nothing, and i mean nothing, can hold a candle to a well made bamboo/cane arrow. shoot arrows are fairly tough, but to me, they are more work than bamboo.
ZanderPommo:
hey! cane and bamboo are the winners hands down, only problem is you can make 12 cedar arrows in hours and 12 cane/bamboo in a week or more.
btw, I'v screwed up the stainless steel points I put on cane arrows (by that I mean flattened them on rocks) and then after examining the arrow found no damage

I just started shooting boo shafts after shooting wood for quite a while. I don't see ever going back to wood. I am amazed with the flight and strenth of the boo arrows.
knightd:
Lets see..Hmmm.. I would have to go with Boo/Cane hands down..Cane preferably..
ZanderPommo:
unfortunately boo arrows are so hard to make, I'm ordering some wood shafts right now for target arrows. Sitka spruce in my opinion is pretty good, but still don't compare to boo. stronger and lighter than cedar though. >:D
I've heard that as far as wood arras go, hickory and IPE are the toughest of the tough, although quite heave, more suitable for hunting or war arrows i think
when I can get my hands on cane/boo I'd gladly use em, but on the whole they're more expensive and harder to come by
