Finally finished!

SimonUK:
I try go get as snug a fit as possible, but I wonder if you can be left with too little glue between the wood and the socket that way? I haven't had any problems so far though.

Loki:
I must be doing something wrong then,i've lost loads of the buggers!Tudor style short Bodkins especially love staying in the target  ;D.

Lloyd:
I use the slowest setting epoxy I can find. I've never had a problem with the glue joint failing. I have broken shafts trying to get the arrow out of the target though...
I think the idea of pinning your points on is a good one if you are shooting 1/2" shafts. Anything smaller and there's not usually enough wood inside the socket to make me comfortable drilling a hole through it.

mullet:
  Those swallowtails are wicked.I'd love to have some for hunting.

I think you'd find that they are highly illegal in most states. Anywhere that has rules about barbed heads will definitely have a conniption fit over swallow tails. :o
