Title: quick question
Post by: BearAddict72 on April 27, 2011, 02:35:00 PM

saw someone selling some carbon arrows. The arrows had a 1" 2219 footing on the end. What is this all about? What does it do?

thanks

The aluminum arrow footing will strengthen the carbon from busting out during a hard, direct or glancing hit.  Inserts can be driven back into the carbon shaft causing a big fuzzy end on the shaft.  

Another problem can be breakage of the shaft behind the insert.  A longer, 2" perhaps, footing would help in that instance.  The aluminum adds little weight but tuning would be in order as Forward of Center can change slightly.
