Bush honesuckle?  I think it's called Aver Honeysuckle?  That's neat.  Another invasive arrow shaft plant.  Does the fletching go up your nose @ full draw?  I have to cut the ends of feathers to keep that from happening to me.

Good looking arrows! Amur honeysuckle puts out some straight shoots, but can be light. I tend to use larger diameter to make up for it.  Good hunting

the honeysuckle was fairly straight from the getgo.it also tends to be light.these where the first honeysuckle that i made.i think i will go a little larger diameter next time.allthough these shot really well out of most of my selfbows.
