I am just finishing up some heavy hog arrows made from some cane just to show you what can be done.  This arrow is one of six just to show you, I am shooting it out of my osage bow drawing 26 1/2" and 45lbs.  The arrow weighed 737.6 grain and will gain a few more when I do the finish point work, is 28" long.  I am using 300 grains up front on these to get what I need.  Hope you enjoy
 
 
 
 
 

Here is the weight

nicely done sir..some piggy is gonna have a bad day.

Those are really nice arrows.

Those are awesome Charlie!            

Looking good, Charlie!

ver nice...my doug fir with 200 gr Grizzly Kokiaks are around 720gr complete.

Is that cane hard to work?

Gotta love that cane!
When you first start working with it, sure seems like a lot of trouble, but the more you do the easier it will become.
There are several videos and you-tube videos that will help getting started.  Do a search on here for some how tos or searcch for cane arrows.  You'll get lots of help.

Some of it can be, but if you pick and choose when you cut, it helps.  Not all cane are alike, and each species likes it own amount of heat to make it bend, but they all work great.

Very nice work!

What are you mounting the BH on? can you put a regular taper on that cane?

Great looking arrows

Westbrook, the broad head is mounted on a 40 grain screw in adapter, and that screwed into a 100 grain brass insert.  The cane is drilled out to accept the insert, and that is put in place with hot melt.  This allows me to spin the head and make sure it is true to the shaft.  Here is a picture of the components, but I did not use this broadhead.

Beautiful looking arrow! How heavy is the broadhead? Thanks for the photos

that last pict helps, thanks...

Thanks Charles!

You can also plug the cane and taper it for glue on heads. I'm not ready to haft yet but I love Stringstretcher's concept!

These broad heads are all around the 160 grain, 40 grain broad head adapter, and 100 grain brass insert.  The possibilities are endless with the add a weights and inserts out today.

Great job

That looks awesome.  Maybe one day I'll have the time I'm willing to dedicate to truing and maintaining wood arrows.  If/when I do, I'll definitely want some cane arrows.

Cane arrows are just cool. One day I'm going to have to give them a try.
