Bamboo Arrows Part 1

Part 1 You may want to fast forward thru some of these. New to video recording and I tend to ramble on. I am new to making bamboo arrows, but have made hundreds of wood arrow from boards, dowels, and trees. There may certainly be better methods, so maybe we all learn from my mistakes. Chuck S.

thank you

[mxred91]

@SenseiStrange you have a very impressive channel. Are you also interested in Kyudo?

[SenseiStrange]

@mxred91 I have done some Kyudo yes. Japanese arrows are too expensive though, so I was looking in to making them. Currently I shoot a longbow, but I am planning on buying a yumi soon.

[mxred91]

@SenseiStrange I read Zen and the Art of archery about 25 years ago when I was practicing Juijitsu. I was intrigued by the Yumi, at the time the equipment was outside budget. We did have one member at the Archery club that shot a Yumi, it was very cool.

why dont you use wooden dowling it works for me

[mxred91]

@1000000volts I have made hundreds of wood arrows over the last 10 years, from dowels (poplar & ramin), boards, and trees. Bamboo is far stronger with the exception of hickory, ash, or dogwood shoots.

@jmh218 at the time (about 1-1/2 years ago) it was $80 including shipping
