If you saw the part where I mounted a field point I did use a dowel to reinforce the point section of the shaft.  However when using the duplex nail this is not necessary as the nail provides all the strength needed.

As far as the nock end.  I set it up right in front of a node for the extra strength it provides.  Never had a problem.  I also saturate the nock in CA glue when finished.

I would love to see some of the arrows you build.  If you get a chance please post a picture or two.

Thanks!  :)

I haven't been at this long myself, but I can't say mine are "straight as an arrow". Mine always seem to have some sort of dip and curve, especially around a drastic node. However, I found that they fly pretty darn good considering, so just make a couple as straight as you can and try 'em out, that's about all you can really do anyways. And post some pics.
