I believe greenbrier would be too flimsy for arrows but give it a try. You never know!     Pat

Even though I've seen green briar big enough for arrows it doesn't seem to be stiff enough. I have not tried drying any to see if it will stiffen. Give it a try and let us know. I have tons of the stuff around here.     Pat
