points come off?

<< < (5/5)

George Tsoukalas:
Make sure your point taper is good and tight and that the point goes perfectly. Then  glue it. I seldom loose a point. I don't degrease. Jawge

Canoe-
I used to use a PVC tube w/ foam that would be soaked with spray silicone. Ran the arrow in and out for 3-D & targets. It helped a lot most times.

But for hunting, I'd think the tissue (blood / fat / meat would lube the shaft enough for passage.  ???

skyarrow:
hmm will have to try that, and i would yous a two part epoxy that tip will never come out again lol

   I have tried most of this stuff myself. Its frustratin to have them points comin off or have to leave one in a 3-D cause its burried up in there. I foretunately don't have that problem any more. Not that one dosen't come off ever, its the nature of the beast. I use Duco on my Feathers, and now I use it fer my tips as well. I clean the inside of my tips with a cotton swab and alcohol before gluein. As fer the Duco cement, I find that as you apply it, it will start to dry fast and forms a outter skin fast, so I apply it as ifin I were gluein PVC pipe. I apply Duco to the arrow tip, then I apply Duco to the inside of the field point. Put em together and twist em a little and then push the point against a piece of wood to make sure they are seated well. Clean off the access glue and set er aside to cure. Works well fer me.
