Shoot arrows: Which way does the taper go?

(1/1)

WhistlingBadger:
Working up some shoot shafts and have a couple almost ready to try out.  I'm guessing the taper goes narrow-end back?  That would make more sense to me because I want an FOC arrow, plus the thick end is going to be stronger.  What says the PA oracle?

Aaron1726:
I put the larger end at the point and smaller end at the nock.

Pat B:
Yes, narrow end back towards the nock. That gives you a forward heavy arrow(FOC) which flies better. The natural taper gives the arrow a wider range for draw weight.
