Exactly Eddie 😅
Do you know the name of it?

I'm gonna try to propagate it from branches , I'd like to have at least one more of this tree.

I took maybe 2-3 arrows trying to heat straighten 3 bamboo shafts and they still weren't straight enough, that's why I was impressed at the time you took. Also to just file nocks and fletch arrows, it takes me a pretty long while..

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Looked everywhere in the internet and couldn't find it, but those pink flowers are visible from miles away so it's pretty easy to identify hehe

Found it, it's a species of Mussaenda.

Edit: and just discovered that one of it's nicknames is Tropical Dogwood, so seems fitting you made an arrow out of it, lol.

Wow thanks @Urufu_Shinjiro , appreciate it 😊

I'll try to propagate it in the next few months to get more of these plants in my backyard aswell!
The only bad thing are the pink flowers falling 24/7 .. Other than that its great wood 😊
