field points on cane shafts

<< < (3/3)

NTD:
Thanks Mike.  I used Duco to glue my points on my cane on the last set and when shooting the other day lost 4 points in a row...It was frustrating...eh but i guess it gives me the chance to try the inserts...

Tsalagi:
I use Duco for fletching. But I use Superglue to put on field points. Here in the winter, the cold will defeat hot melt glue and the points will fall right off outside.

El Destructo:
Tsalagi...thats exactly why I use either Super Glue or the Powerbond...they don't let go...the More I use the Bohning Powerbond...the More I seem to like it better....it's a strong as Gorilla Glue....without the Air Bubbles that Gorilla Glue is Notorious for... And Nate...once you make a set with the Inserts....you will wonder how and why you didn't do it from the Start..... ;D...and if you are worried that the cane is too thin after the Inserts are installed...you can wrap the ends with Sinew and Hide Glue....or Silk String and Super Glue for your added peace of Mind.... :P

Tsalagi:
El D, yes, I discovered the pitfalls of hot melt glue the hard way, LOL! Losing field points.

I've only done a couple field points this way but I liked the results.  Then again I lost the arrows while stump shooting.  :)  The screw inserts were a bit large than was the hole in my cane.  I tightened a file in my vice.  Then, put the field point in my electric drill, point end facing the motor.   Touching the thread end of the field tip to the file I was able to keep the end round and reduce it to fit in the cane hole.  Probably a bit of over-kill, but used 2 ton epoxy to glue it in.
