Help With My Cedars

I'm a little new at making my own cedars. The ones that I have made are good and flying great. The problem is when I shoot them into bales or even 3-d targets the wood by the tips is full of target material. What can I use or do to them to stop the problem. Shane

Sounds like it could be a couple of things. First, check that the size of your points are the same as the shaft size. 11/32 and 23/64 are real close but if you use a23/64 point on a 11/32 shaft, there will be a very minor overhang that can catch your target materia. Also, check the taper on the shaft and make sure there's a good fit into your point. Hope this helps.
Shoot straight,
Bob

Thanks for your help, I will check it out. I have switched from alm. to cedars and making my own and it is great. It is an art to make a good cedar arrow. I wish every archer who calls himself traditional would try making their own and taking a deer. It has been a great time doing so. Shane

If your talking about material stuck to the shaft itself: There is a lot of friction devoloped as the arrow forces it's way into the target. Ever shoot a frozen target? It will melt it's way in and freeze and they're tough to get out.
The finish used can have some effect on how bad stuff sticks. The tire slick stuff sold at auto supply stores is great for coating the shafts and making them easier to pull. You have to put more on every 3 or 4 shots.
