Taper for glue on points

(1/2) > >>

Allyn T:
How do you know how much to taper to fit on the points? I can't tell if there is space inside or not

Pat B:
It approximately a 5 degree taper. How are you tapering the arrows?

Allyn T:
I used a belt sander. I tapered steeper than that I think. I tried to fit the arrow all the way in as far as it would go, do you normally not do that?

Hawkdancer:
I use the pencil sharpener taper cutter(3 Rivers, Lancaster, et al). You do want as much wood to metal contact as possible, and both glue and metal hot.  IMO!

Pat B:
You do need a good fit to keep the arrow/point true or the arrow won't fly right.
