Wood Arrow Problems?
DanaM:
How did you do your tapers for the points and nocks? If your tapers are off it will be tough to glue the points and nocks on straight.
tradrick:
Thanks for the advice guys.I new I could count on ya'll.I use a tapering tool purchased from 3rivers a few years ago.It has 2 separte ends one for the point one for the nock.Armymedic I like the way you think.And thats the reason I'm here,were I have more involvement with my gear.I'm learning more every week and build more of my own stuff and buy less all the time.I guess you could say I got tired of being one of these gadget junkies,going out and buying the next great thing.There was no passion or skill in it.The things that are being taught on forums like this are a lost art as far as I'm concerned.And thats a damn shame.Most of the guys I work with that bowhunt don't have a clue on how to make a bows,strings, arrows,quiver or even how to shoot without fiber optic sights.I let a compound friend of mine shoot my longbow one day.When I handed it to him he said''OK Whata I Do''.Sorry I'll get off my soap box now.Thanks for your help I'll check'em out good this evening.tradrick

Make sure you have the grain orientation the same on all of them, something many people overlook
Pappy:
It is just the opposite,If you have an arrow spined 40 and leave it 30in. long it will shoot like a 30 lb.
You gain about 5 lb. spine with every in. cut off 28 and loose about 5 lb.spine for every in. you add.
