Ricardo's arrows
Ricardovanleeuwen:
What i mean is like a reinforcend sharpened shaft
Pat B:
What are your arrows made of. You can taper the end and burn it black and wrap wire around an inch or so behind the point for weight. Fire hardened points are pretty sturdy on a hardwood shoot.
Ricardovanleeuwen:
At the moment i have rosé shoot shafts wich im working on since the lighter weight so the instinctive vertical aiming is less important, they are also easyer to straighten then dogwood. When i got like 12 good shooting fletched rosé arrows il start on the dogwood. I also have a few Hazel and bird Cherry shoots drying but they seem to be way more flexibele at the same diameter
DC:
You can get screw in tips for aluminum and carbon arrows. If your arrow has a pith(I think rose does) the tips will slip right in with a bit of thick CA or epoxy. Be sure to wrap the shaft with thread to prevent splitting.
Pat B:
Good thought, DC. I've done that before with cane arrows and it works. Also, a duplex nail with the double head ground to a point and the shank inserted in the pith. You may have to drill out the pith first.
