Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
I do apologize for the "former" Marine statement. I put that in there because I'm pretty proud to have a friend of that caliber who has served his country with such distinction. Correction duly noted.
Dave-
Will do on the pictures. I currently have pieces and parts lying all over the house. One thing I have discovered is that new shafts without a point taper fit better (and are probably stronger) than retrofitted shafts with glue-ons removed.
I ended up cutting the tapers off with a fine tooth saw, then putting the footing on. What you loose in shaft length is pretty much gained back with the length of the insert inside the section of alum. shaft.
Or, if you have really long arms like I do, you gain about 3/4 of an inch in arrow length.
