Self Arrow Taper Direction

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mickey:
Like the others I'm heavy end fpr the point. This provides weight up front, gives more meat for cutting in notches for flint heads, provides a natural taper for better bow clearance, and you don't need as much wood for a nock as you do for a tip.

I have heard of guys using them the other way successfully, but I have never tried it personally.

                                               Me 6. "fatty" end up front.....bob

jumpdown:
Sweet!
This is just the confirmation and assistance I was looking for!
Thanks everyone.

Hillbilly:
Same here, heavy end to the front. I plane most of my shoot shafts down to a 5/16" or 11/32" parallell taper, though. Sometimes after planing them to a uniform thickness, I taper the last 8-10" of the nock end for all the same reasons.

mullet:
    Fat end forward,even with cane.
