Are they tonkin cane arrows?
Yes, Tonkin cane, 31", 60-65#, 125 grain tip, 3x4" shield wond;
Got another set in 95-100# with 165 grain tips in 3x5" purple and pink but got now pics of em right now.
Im really impressed with the durability of these tonkin shafts, id say ap. as tough as thin carbons like the ICS Bowhunters but thats just my eperience.
I find it kinda hard though to get em in moderate weights grain per inch wise. I always end up with 12-13 gpp.
i am trying to use natural materials as mush as possible.
in those arrows, i have used hemp fibers, organic glue etc.
i hope you like them.
best.

different feather style trials.
Great looking arrows. Love the primitive look.
Love those arrows!!!!
I love good bamboo arrows.
Nature's answer to carbon and tougher than woodpecker lips.
God bless,Mudd
PS: Nice arrows!!!!!!! Thanks for starting this thread.
Tougher than woodpecker lips..... :laughing:
I love the ones i made.....fly great and really tough! Inksoup i used a horn insert for the nocks .....cut the length from that end to get as much "meat" as i could but still have them break.....any problems with yours? I really dont want to use a plastic nock either.....
Great to see you posting again, Lance. I'm still using and admiring the armguard you made for me.
I thought I had some pix of my bamboo arrows, but I couldn't find any. I'm in complete agreement, though, they make excellent arrows.

Charles....all i can say is wow!
And hi ya back Eugene!!!
I love my cane and bamboo primitive arrows. Sorry no pics though.
Love those snakeskins. :notworthy:
Let me ask....are those the horn insert nocks you can buy for the cane / bamboo shafts? I was told not to trust them but sure will get some if you all arent having any trouble!!!
Here are some arrows I made up while waiting for Jake's Maddog! John from Glacier Archery sent them to me finished except for feathers and points. Awesome arrows, but I have already split two, will probably stick with cedars, at least they smell nice when broke! Nice flying arrows though!

re: huntsmanlance
i am pushing little bamboo stick inside the nock side of the bamboo to make there solid.
then cut the nock, sand it and wrap with hemp or very thin cotton robe.
hell, yes i really like primivite look of the bamboo arrows.
thanks guys posting the pictures.
best.
