Bow and arrows from ?

I've been checking on bamboo.... it seems that it is only available in sub-Saharan regions, if African .....this is the area to look. Asian areas it is prolific, so I tend towards S.E.A as a likely source. My understanding is that many African arrowheads are fixed to thin diameter reed which,is in turn, fixed to the main arrow shaft. However, I do not not know whether this is common to all African arrows........ I still think this is a nice item.
