field points on cane shafts

(1/3) > >>

aero86:
id like to add some field points to the bamboo(cane) shafts im making so i can shoot them more often.  whats the best way to do that?  are there any that slip over the end of the shaft?

DanaM:
I just taper the boo like it was cedar if the shaft is a bit fat for the point I sand the end of the shaft down a bit to make it work.

aero86:
ok, i just didnt know if anyone put a small plug in, or if the walls could handle it.

DanaM:
if its river cane you may want to plug it Tonkin doesn't need it. try a scrap piece and see what works for ya

Hillbilly:
I do mine like Dana said. If it's thick walled, you don't need to plug it. If there's a good sized hole, put a piece of dowel or bamboo skewer in it.
