Cane arrows question
« on: August 12, 2011, 10:34:32 pm »
I've been searching and I'm sure it has been asked before but do you put wider or narrower side of the cane on the business end of the arrow?  I think it was thick the last time I remember but I'm not saying much for my memory.  Thanks.

Goose, you get better arrow flight with a weight forward shaft. Historically cane and hardwood shoot arrows have been used with both the big end and the small end forward but IMO I get better arrow flight with weight forward arrows.
