El Destructo:
I do it all them ways...if it's thin...I plug them...that Tonkin Eddie sent Me....is so thick it don't need any help....and then there is my Favorite way..I buy the smallest Carbon Arrow threaded inserts you can buy....drill the Shafts out....glue in the Inserts....and now you have a Multipurpose Shaft...instead of just a Target Shaft.....works great on Tonkin Boo....thats what I shot my 230 pound 7 pointer with this Year....JMO

bobnewboy:
Here in the UK I buy 5/16" (seems best fot for the shafts I buy) paralllel fit piles for my bamboo arrows.  I scrape the outer rind down on my bamboo arrows until the shaft fits tightly in the pile, and glue together using two-pack glue.  I dont use plugs at the pile end, but I do use plugs of scrap osage at the nock end, again glued in with two-pack adhesive, before I cut the self nocks into the shaft.

NTD:
What kind of glue do you use for the inserts Mike?  Think I want to try that on my next tonkin arrows.

El Destructo:
Either Super Glue Gel...or Bohning Powerbond Adhesive....the Bohning is my favorite...gives a lot more Set Time...and stays more Pliable than Super Glue...so if you hit a Rock or something hard...the Glue won't fail

Robert E. Leet:
If you get wooden dowls that are just bigger than your boo than you hardly need any glue.  I sand down my dowles slightly then packe 'em with the heaviest hide glue I have.  Seems to work pretty good, but I don't know how they'll hold up.  (Only had for a couple months)  But I'd follow El Destructo's advice, he knows best. . .
