Title: Quality of this year's switch/river cane?
Post by: artcher1 on November 26, 2007, 06:10:14 pm

For those of you that cut and use cane for arrows have you noticed any difference in it's growth structure due to this year's drought? Such as thinner/thicker walls, larger/smaller diameter shoots,  etc..-ART B
