I can get Tonkin, 8 to 10mm, undyed from the Bamboo Supply store by my house. They come in rolls of 500 x 4', $62 without shipping.

What does He charge to ship??? I am interested.....

I just checked out the price including shipping to my zone and the grand total was $51.35. It works out to about $.10 a piece. I'm thinking this is very doable depending on the hand selected quality. This would definitely boost my supply of squirrell arrows!

Mullet, in a bale of 500, what is an estimate of usable shafts from your experience? half or better?

Thanks Tracy

  Chris Cade (mechlesher) can answer that better than me. I don't make many arrows. I trade the supplies to make them to the arrowmakers ;D Are you sure that price is right? I would call and talk with them on the phone. The first bundle I bought 3 years ago was $48 without shipping ant the last one was $62, last year.

Yes, the price is normally 53.99 but has a 35% discount. Still normal price would make it $64 shipped. I think I'll just give it a try and see. If nothing else I'll sell them to the wife for her greenhouse where she teaches ;D

Hey Mike, I talked to Mechslasher about what percent are usable(estimate) and it sounds promising if you're shooting 50+ lbs, better than half with 25% of 500 not usable. I'll pm you when I get them and let you know what they're like.
