Small, 1/4" or so, Cain????
« on: March 24, 2013, 03:33:00 pm »
Was in the Cain Patch a few days back.
Noticed a lot of 1/4" or so Cains.  They are Very Straight and have Small Nodes.
Would make some good light spine or short arrows.
Anyone interrested in a trade????

Crooketarrow: These 1/4" Cains are Mature.  They will never be any larger.
                        Cain and Bamboo have only one growing season.  They reach their
                        full height and diameter in one year.  They will get stronger and
                        heaver if allowed to mature for another year or two.

There are several 3/8" to 1/2" cains in the patch.  I can cut some if you would like to trade.

Pat:  You want me to cut some 1/4" for you and bring them to the Classic???
