Arrow shafts made from a South Florida wood?
« on: July 11, 2013, 12:26:28 pm »
I'm currently making a bow from Sea Grape which grows in South FL.  Can anyone recommend a wood type that grows in S. FL that would be good for arrows?

How far South are we talking?  Like the Keys?  Everglades and south?

Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

PM Parnell. He was just telling me about some shaft material he was using. He is in Naples.

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

Palm Beach County.  I'm a little inland, about 25 minutes from the ocean but I don't mind driving out if there are some good seaside wood types there.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
