quote: I don't know if you can foot an arrow with an insert in it already, never tried it. Thinking about it I don't think I can do it to my arrows because the lip of the insert rests on the footing. The idea being with the footing firmly glued in place and the insert lip resting on the footing the insert can not be pushed back into the shaft. Otherwise my footing wouldn't make any difference at all.
Thanks for the great videos. I've destroyed many of my 2117 shafts while stumping.
In your post you said the insert lip rests on the footing. Does sanding the carbon shaft remove enough material to cause the lip of the insert to overlap the aluminum footing?

I've used Gorilla glue for other things and have always used water according to bottle directions. It foams and foams while drying. I take it (question) that by applying it as you describe that foaming isn't a problem?? Maybe it's the wayer that makes it foam?

Looks like a stout arrow--I'm gonna have to make me up some. Good job.

Great info Rick, but I think you meant the outside wall thickness on this example would be .016".
Thanks for the videos Pac. Well done.

Great video Pac. Been doing mine like this for years. I use leftover Smooth On from my bowmaking. I also epoxy my nocks in so they never pop out.
If you do break a nock you can carefully drill out the old one and replace it.

Great video Pac. I will be trying your system as every thing is frozen solid around here. Hitting a stump is like hitting a rock right now.........

Hey Jack, Thanks for bringing this back to the top!
Pac, This is a GREAT Video! Thanks, so much, for taking the time to do it and post it. We used to get quite a few "How To" posts but not as much anymore. This is the way to "Give Back" to tradgang. It really helps the newcomers and old timers alike!! Thanks again!
