Leave the bark on them for a month or so then you can strip the bark without checking. You can cold straighten them every few days and in a month they should be pretty straight. Just a little tweaking with heat to get them right.

Like most natural shafting(and bow wood) rose shoots make better arrows after they have had plenty of time to properly season.

Thanks for the info...I'm going to give it a try on some multiflora rose...I presume it will work...anything special to look out for using it?
