Primitive River Cane Hunting Arrow Build 

Great work. Im building a set of Atlatl darts from river cane. Great material to work with.

You could most likely get a bow out of the one with the checking in the sap wood, you'll likely just have to go down an extra growth ring. I loved your sinew backed hickory bow you made in a different video,.

Outstanding! I've been trying to repopulate river cane, in my area, just for this purpose. There's nothing else as good, in my opinion. Excellent demo!

I have been making bows and arrows for about 40 years and learn from my grandpa. We use Osage, locust or mulberry for the bows and cane for arrows which we cut during winter. I was noticed that the cane you use has a groove down the side of the section between the nodes and that creates a slight zigzag. The cane we have has none of those grooves and have longer sections between the nodes and I use these for my arrows. If you would like you can email shipping address and I can send you some of my cane to try and if you like it better than yours I can Evan send some root part so you can grow it. It makes lighter and faster arrows and grows somewhat straighter.

Great job. I deal with rivercane myself thank you for sharing. It can be used for thousands of things

Outstanding, well done!

Beautiful work. Earned my subscription. I used to be fairly serious about primitive archery 20+ years ago. Attended the Mo-Jam then the O-jam here in Oklahoma after moving back. We have the tall cane here but the type you use isn't anywhere I can find, i read once the South had switch cane snd made superior shafts. Do ever use hardwood foreshafts? I have used rough leafed dogwood as arrows and foreshafts to some degree of success. I need to watch more of your videos. I would like for the primitive bug to bite me again. All the best, John in Oklahoma

Very cool 😎👍

Awesome video.

Muy bueno saludos de Bs As

Useful stuff, TY.

Awesome video!

Nice looking arrows & heads ... They went through that bale of hay slick. Would you need to touch up the heads after that ? Sounded like some hit dirt on the other side.

Amazing

Nice arrow but are you sure thats River Cane you are using and not traditional bamboo? The leaves/nodes don't look like the River Cane I use or what Ryan Gill shows as River Cane. But again nice arrows and if they work for you all the better.

Great video. What were the weights of the knapped points and the arrows overall?

How long does cane last? Will it be brittle by next season?

Wow

😎🏹👌🏻

Wish we had river cane here in Ohio
