The cane I am using is native to much of the Southwest but it should not be confused with Arundo donax which is larger and is not native. Phragmites australis berlandieri is much thinner, about the width of a normal arrow. It is lightweight but very strong when properly dried. Spine weight is not a consideration with this cane if you keep draw weight between 40-50 pounds which is more than enough for most hunting. The Eastern cane you mention is Arundinaria sp and that is a true bamboo; in fact, it's the only bamboo occurring in the US. It is found as three different species but A. gigantia is the most common. I will post pictures and I'll go ahead and do a tutorial for you on how I make my hunting arrows. I'll post it in about two weeks or thereabouts. Thanks for your question.

I live in Tucson, AZ and their seems to be an abundance of this plant in the washes. I don't hear much about this plant on youtube tutorials as people are mostly using eastern river cane (which I think is a bit thicker) but I'm glad to see that somebody is using it. Would you maybe post pictures of some of your cane arrows? Also, is spine weight not really an issue for this plant? It's hard to believe. I guess I will just have to see for myself.Rafaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275789483007056157.post-30322908958689150292014-06-28T14:24:00.625-07:002014-06-28T14:24:00.625-07:00You're welcome.
