Can someone give me a link to some good videos on straightening stick arrow shafts? Just can't afford those dowels.

Go to the 3 Rivers site. they have several arrow building vids.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

I've made a few videos on the subject.  I'm straightening reed (in the video below) but the same principles apply to shoots and cane.

Check out our "How To" section. There are some arrow making threads there. Patrick(Jackcrafty) has a few there himself.
