does anyone know if you can use nandina for arrows or foreshafts? It grows very straight and has many shoots. Kind of like a privet, but I'm not sure if its related.

I have never tried nandina but I believe it is too thick for arrows. Atlatl darts probably as well as foreshafts.

Dry a few out and see. You can reduce the diameter with a plane or scraper.
