I pat b ed an arrow
« on: September 01, 2008, 07:42:21 pm »
 Or robin hooded it either way.From about 15 yards away out of a 16 foot tree stand I shot and i heard a crack and saw splinters fly. the second arrow in the picture is the one that hit it.It still stuck in the target. I think its non repairable. it was one of my poc practice arrows.If it would of been a broad head I think it would have split it all the way down.

Some arrows are like people, the gods take them away before their time. I hate it when that happens.  L.J.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

That's totally fixable as long as there are no other cross grain cracks. I have used TBIII and super glue to repair split cedar shafts and by adding a wrap or 2 at your fletching its good to go. The arrow might have a little more spine weight but with the split being only in the rear, probably not much.
   For the nock, Grind a long, flat taper in the nock end of the shaft removing the damaged area. Grind the same bevel in a cedar cut off and glue and wrap until the glue is set. Then cut to length and cut your nock in again. On the one I repaired it had a raw hide spine so I had to add that too. Yours looks like you have a spine in it also.
   You may have to remove the feathers yo do the repair . After the repair is done re-fletch and add a wrap around where the splice is just for security.      Pat
