A good friend, Matt Gundock who posts on PA, has recently started working with bamboo/cane for arrows...and to my surprise he sent me one of his finished arrows to try out....while I am no expert...I think he got it figured out!

According to Matt, it is River Cane, weights 600+ grains, and he used sinew to wrap at the fletch and nock....
Once again, thanks Matt...it will get shot a little, then get a Zwickey glued on, and put away till hunting season when it will be the first arrow out of my quiver!
I am so starting to like cane and bamboo...my longbow made by Charlie Jefferson is bamboo backed osage....that my wife just picked up a Bamboo "starter kit" for me....

Looks like it will be a while before I get to harvest any of my own!
