cane?

(1/2) > >>

deersled:
can anyone explain how to mount field points or glue on broadheads to rivercane. The cane I have is bigger than the tips (11/32, 23/64). do you taper by hand or what?

El Destructo:
Normally you don't pick Cane that is over 3/8" in diameter at the Base....so that you can taper it for 11/32" Tips or 5/16" ....then taper it with a Taper Tool

deersled:
would you use a belt sander or knife until you can fit it in your taper tool?

welch2:
It's probably just me , but I think if you have to use commercial points on canes ,the thread in type is easier .After matching the canes diameter to the points base , I run the point down in the cane a few times to tap it .Then I put some thick grease on the tang (Vaseline )  ,just a little thin coat .(I heat the tang with a lighter then dip it in the jar )

Next I push some epoxy down in the cane with a toothpick .Let the glue start to firm up just a bit ,and thread the greased point in .I keep a eye on the extra epoxy ,When the extra glue just becomes set ,I unscrew the point . After the glue fully sets you have an arrow that will take any screw in point .

Or you can even use those those prethreaded inserts for carbon arrows.

 That's a good idea, Ralph. I've started to experiment with the carbon, aluminum inserts. I'm also trieing the plastic nocks for carbons also.
