Author Topic: 4 point footing..start to finish..pic heavy lovethehunt Trad Bowhunter Member # 22860 posted                     I was asking questions here the last couple of weeks about footing wood shafts and the effect on spine, etc. I gathered the goods to try it and want to share the process. These are not my original ideas and take no credit for them. I am just a guy who likes to build my own equipement. Materials: 1x4x10 maple block threaded inserts and 1.25" thumb screws 90' v-bit and router router table, I use a home made one. arrow shafts...these were broke off at the point and now are alive again. footing material .5x.5x8" I used walnut glue Start by making your footing jig..there are good posts on this. I marked the short end of mine so it was easier to rotate the shaft and line it back up. Next put the shaft in your jig, nock to the tall end and end to be cut flush with the short end, and transfer the lines to your arrow. Now feed the arrow through your router table tall end first, go slow.

Thank you for doing this. -------------------- Michigan Longbow Association, Life Member U.S. ARMY Military Police '90-'94 Ask me about the PBS, We Stand for Ethics. Posts: 4138 | From: Michigan | Registered: Sep 2005  |  IP: Logged |  lovethehunt Trad Bowhunter Member # 22860 posted                     now open the cuts and try to get glue all the way down to the bottom, them glue the shaft also. Put some small clamps at the base of the cuts. the shaft will split the foot if you don't push the shaft in as far as you can and let it dry overnight now here is the laborus part. use a block plane to start making your square foot round again. finish this with sand paper. I used a 11/32 guage from my taper tool to help. Go slow and work toward the nock.

You will get faster as you go. Last one took 5 min. There you go, start to finish, 4 point footing! I tried mine out they flew great! One only got to make the trip 4 times before it was broke but the footing held. Trees are tough on arrow!
