Some shoot shaft arrows

[BowEd]

Cool.....I don't doubt multi flora rose cures faster than wood shoot shafts as it has a noticeably larger pith than wooden shoot shafts.I agree though that they make excellent shafts too.
I don't think multi flora rose is considered a grass like bamboo or hill cane yet though.Maybe a wood or some sort of shrub???Generally cane and bamboo seem to stay straighter easier than wood shafts in my experience and are considered a grass.

when you do your cane arrows, do you put a wood plug in the end before you taper for the glue-on point?

[BowEd]

Yes....I use a section of a bamboo skewer.I just super glue it in there.Only the ones that need it though.Hill cane are top notch beautiful shafts.

I used to plug the ends of cane shafts but don't anymore. I found it is not necessary. I cut in self nocks and add a wrap of sinew(thread will work too) and have never had a failure. I also use glue on points(commercial), trade points and stone points without plugging the ends. The sinew wrap takes care of that too. With glue on points I do use my belt sander with a taper jig to make the taper. I never had luck with the pencil sharpener type taper tool with cane shafts. Others may.
