littlehunters19862011:
thank you vary much . its not as hard as i thout it would be .and bye useing my little round fire pit the shafts can roll acrose the top of it so i can test of strait they are while i am heating them up to straitin them so it has worked out purty good . im thakin about makein sum foreshaftes for them. cus i cut them a lil short at 29 witch is not a problem but i should have made them 32 33" so i would have sum more room if the tip broke .what types of wood works good for foreshafts?
AJMag:
How long is your draw length? I cut all mine at around 29" and have no problem. I also shove a dowel down both ends, cut a self nock and taper down the tip for glue on field points. Pretty sure any good arrow wood would make a good foreshaft. I'd glue on a couple tips and see how you like it.

yes ill have to try that . my draw length is 28 . with the 40lbs Recurve Bow i am shooting
AngelDeVille:
I went to the True Value and they had packs of 25 3' bamboo but I didn't think I'd get more than 5-6 usable shafts out of the pack for me, but maybe 10 for my son. A few of them were split. But the bug has been planted. I'll be heading to Wally World tomorrow.
I'm thinking hardwood re-inforced self nocks, 1/4" dowel reinforced tips for glue on points.
Has anyone gotten shafts that spine #75 or more?
