I've heard a few people here say they have used tomato stakes for arrows. I went bought some from the depot but they all were prepacked. i did the best in picking through but I'm not sure about these things. I'm pretty new at making my own primitive arrows. So I was hoping someone had some pics of there successful tomato stake arrows so I could get and idea what to shoot for. ( no pun intended )
Thanks

These are tomato stakes

Those look pretty good. How do they shoot ? The Home Depot Garden center here has them loose so I can often sort through them.

cane and bamboo is the only type of arrow shaft I use. I like how they fly.

There's nothing wrong with wood arrows, but once the cane bug bites you, you're pretty much hooked on them, save the occasional shoot arrow. ;)

If you don't have access to good bamboo or cane, the garden center stakes are an "excellent value".
If they will let you sort through them that's a +. I keep 8 and 10mm open end box wrenches in my glove box just for that purpose.
