I was just at 3rivers archery I got some of the cane shafts what are and how do you heat treat cane? and dose it mater if you do it or not ?
-
I've used heat to straighten cane, but there is no need to heat treat cane. To do so not knowing what you are doing , will take a big chance of making it too brittle or changeing the spine.
-
Like mullet said, don't worry about it. Its pretty good stuff un treated.. if it gets crooked on ya, its easy to straighten out

3 rivers carries cane now?

Not that I can find...only thing made with Cane on their Website is Great Plains Tonkin Cane Bows....... ??? ....but then I don't live near the Shop...and can't go and visit...like some can......... ;D

look under primitives,then arrow building. they used to stock em
dunno what they mean??? trying to make the product sound better I assume, I imagine they really just mean heat straightened, like all other cane shafts

Same price as David Knight's but he offers them spine and weight matched.

They might be Davids.
-
What Eddie said. They usually get tempered enough in the straightening process.

I could be wrong but I believe they're from Jim of Rudderbows
-
Dang...for $50.00 a Dozen...I would for sure get Mine from David and Cora...I have seen their Arrows fly...I know that theywill be Spined and Straight when I got them.......
-
Wow 25 for 6.. I thought about selling some down the road fletched with field points for that price

If you ever do I will be your best customer. I like making arrows all right but for $50 a dozen I will glady spend my time doing other things and spend my money with you ;D
-
I've been known to send somebody a bundle of 500 for 2 dozen finished arrows, matched and spined.

I'd buy them from David for more than that, definately worth it

Fellin like a trade Eddie? ;D
-
Eddie, considering it only costs $80 give or take, to get a bundle of 500 shipped, I think getting 2 doz matched and spined finished arrows, is one heck of a deal!!! For YOU!!! ;D :o
And I bought a dozen straightened and sanded shafts from David Knight, they were great!! Flew incredible but I only have 7 left. Broke 5 already at the field range :(
-
NTD, hush! ;D :D
-
the shafts seem to be small in size,I have not spined then yet.
-
well I'm assuming EVERY one would be arrow worthy.....right Eddie? ;D
I think $200 worth of arrow deserves a little sorting!
-
At Dknight's deserved price of $140 a doz it's more like $280 worth of arrows ;D Anyone who makes cane though knows it's a worthwile price. And he makes some perty arrows. I'd pay it but the way I'm breaking arrows lately I'd go broke quick.

+1 the only time I will justify the risk of breakage and buy a doz of them perty sticks is if I was competing in a trad shoot. for now ill stick to dowel arrows and crookety cane :D

you can temper cane to raise the spine if you need to. i only do this if i come up short on spine when working on a set of arrows. i'll take a lower spined shaft and give it a good temper to raise the spine to match the others. after cane solar cures for a month or two, i'll go over it with a propane torch to give it a mild temper and also do some minor straightening while it's hot. a mild temper will caramelize the sugars in the cell walls and make it a tougher shaft. the tonkin doesn't need to be tempered as it's dry as a bone when you get it. i don't even want to get started on how lucky eddie is with arrow deals! ::)
-
Being just a poor boy all I can do is drool over them beautiful $140 arrows!
But, I'd rather have my uglies that I know are close in tolerances than pay $50-$80 for some questionables (and almost as ugly).
But, If I ever win Power Ball............... ;D
-
Zander, I really don't need any arrows right now. At last count I have over 300. ;)
-
are you getting ready for battle mullet?
-
wow, seriously. :D
at last count i have 3 matched arrows, i need to get to work :o
