Title: Bamboo arrows
Post by: Dan_da_man on May 11, 2007, 04:28:00 PM

I just found allot of Bamboo in my woods  and I need a few pointers on how to tun them into arrows.
     What diameter for 55-60# spine
     How to make self nocks in them
     Best way to straighten
     How "green" should they be
     Do I need to seal them


thanks in advance for all help

Just to say that I love bamboo for arrows. Ranger 3 gave the link, I don't think Mr. Lotz has any "bamboo" arrow making hints, look for tips on river cane arrows there.

River cane is a type of bamboo, so Ferrets info on makin cane arrow works just as well for bamboo.
