Yes I did wonder, as the judge didn't check my arrows at the inspection, so they may not have checked his, but he was discussing and displaying them openly around the tea area and there were plenty of judges there too.Or none of the officials spotted them ;-)
err ... bamboo doesn't have Xylem cells .. how can it be a wood?Bamboo is a wood...
It has primary xylem - so does coriander, tulip, the multitude of annual or biannual flowering plants.err ... bamboo doesn't have Xylem cells .. how can it be a wood?
For AGB(GNAS)/BLBS clubs bamboo arrows are NOT allowed with longbows/traditional recurve as the description for arrows specify wood arrows. Bamboo being a grass means they are not allowed. A good number of people have e-mails from AGB confirming this, we host a longbow shoot in which some of the archers used bamboo arrows, upon discovery of this they were allowed to continue shooting but unable to win anything. BUT as recurve/compound/barebow don't have any mention of materials for arrows then bamboo is allowed for them.So I assume that archers/clubs that don't agree with bamboo arrows also don't use bamboo constructed longbows? ;-)
