Jason, note that I said "THEY may be forced to kill you". You just might be in range too!

If you want to foot a shaft with aluninum it`s easy. For a 11/32 shaft use a piece of 22 size al. shaft,I like 2216. Taper the wood shaft back about an 1/8" and just start twisting the al. piece on the wood. As you are twisting you will note it is cutting off it`s wall thickness from the wood. Keep turning the al. piece till you`ve cut it back about an inch. Hot melt the al. piece onto the wood, add any weight you want inside the al. piece, glue your insert in and your ready to go. You will notice that the fit of wood to al. is perfect as both the wood shaft and the 2216 shaft are exactly the same dia. For 23/64 just use a 23 sized al. such as 2215.
I`ve done this for a long time but not for FOC but to repair broke shafts and add weight so screw in Judos weigh what my broadheads weigh. Hope this will help you out as it is easy to do. Bob

Great research Orion! Thanks for sharing the results of your work.
I'd bet I'm like a lot of folks here... trying to find a way to get the high FOC without giving up on my wood arrows. Looking foward to what is to come...

Orion your numbers are right on.......I got some footed cedars-Wenge and Purpleheart-FOC was 14; but they are very pretty and have some additional strength where it counts. Keep us posted on the iron rod developments. That idea has got legs!
