http://plants.usda.gov/java/  It's USDA plant database.  You can look at plants based on your state so you can actually make sure of what you have.   It even is as detailed as by county.  Thought that  might help everyone.

well i greatly appreciate all the help guys. looks like im going to have to whack one off and let it start drying. if there is anyone around who is a fair hand at making a bow and would want to try some of this tree i might be able to get you a stave. but im not sure how long it will be or anything.
hunting season is getting close. time to trade in the girl friend for the bow

The only problem with the USDA site is, it doesnt list invasive or common ornamentals, which often go wild.

Baring that...
It is a good place to start.
