Let's talk Footed Arrows
« on: February 13, 2009, 07:08:00 PM »
Hey ya'll,
So, I was shootin the other day and ended up crackin one of my woodies about 6 inches above the point.   :help:   Also, about how many grains can I expect to have added to my shaft by footing it?

Thanks guys!  :notworthy:

Keep the thickness at what ever the width of the saw cut is, weight will depend on the wood used and length of the foot. I keep my foots at 7.25" long and with Dymond wood it will add about 50 grains,
