Bamboo arrows-I ordered 500 pieces

I ordered 500 pieces of bamboo from http://bamboosupply.net/ for more arrows. This video shows what I received. Good people to deal with and received only 3 days later. This video was also an excuse to mess around with Moviemaker software.

bambusa gracilis, I'd say! I have about 20 shafts with 5-8ft of usable diameter! trying to develop the technique to make it straight!

@gabrieow I know what you mean. I have not made any in about a year because they last (don't break much). It is getting time to make more, I have to brush up on my straightening technique again. If you have not seen my video on the nail field points, check it out. They have worked out really well.

suvival dude: I bought the 8 to 10mm 4 feet long. That is = to 5/16 to 3/8". Keep in mind about half of them will not be good enough for an arrow

this stuff grows like crazy in my backyard, I live in southeast Louisiana. Cane arrows were used longggg ago by many native tribes in Louisiana and till this day they are still used by the same tribes to make cane baskets and arrows
