Kegan, I shoot 70# splined arrows made from Tonkin out of my 55-60# bows. The arrows are 33" long with mostly 125 grn points.

Little John:
Kegan, I dont know why your epoxy isn't holding as I don't think I have never had one turn loose. Make sure the trade point is clean. It takes a deep slot, for my point the slot is about 1 1/4" deep. The point has about 1/2" tang and the shaft extends well out onto the point, lots of gluing surface. Maybe your epoxy is no good? Again my trade point arrows are good for hundreds of shots and the shaft breaks first.  I am sure you will work it out.    Kenneth

Kegan:
I've no idea what it is. It's two-ton epoxy, but rfuses to bond to the clean blade. I just gave it a little wiggle by hand and the epoxy broke. Heck, one I split a practice dowel to try and as soon as i took the clamp off the pulling of the wood seperated the epoxy from the point!

The slot is deep, about 1 1/2". I've no idea what makes a good epoxy for this though?

HFD60:
sounds like your epoxys no good, I used the cheap quick set epoxy from Ace Hardware to set mine. The first test one I shoot it into a hard wood stump and it didn't break the bond ;)

Kegan:
Sounds like I just need to do a little glue shopping then. Thanks guys!
