Footing carbons ???

[jimmerc]

Ok I did the searches, I know how and what to use!! But do you folks that foot your carbons, foot all of them or just your stumpers?  Do you foot your hunting arrows also??

[Lefty]

I foot all my arrows, especially my hunting ones.  If my broadhead hits bone, it cannot overcome that bone regardless of the broadhead type, if the shaft fails right behind the insert.  For this reason, I foot my hunting shafts.

Absolutely! once you'v footed them you'l never look back. Especially hunting bigger game

X2 what Lefty said! spot on

[JimB]

Every arrow.

Thanks guys!  I was planing on doing all of mine only Due to the fact that  the 2 failures I had, 1 on a deer and one on a stump! The deciding factor was the stump this morning that ended my woods walk way to short! Just have to go find a couple 2216s alum shafts!!

Good idea I foot all of my arrows

Yeah, if you have a knurler and set it just right, then epoxy and knurl each 2216 outsert to the shaft, it makes them relatively bombproof.  I test- shot several point-blank into a flat basalt rock face and actually bent a couple of steel bhd adapters(inside brass shaft inserts!) But, the carbon didn't fail.
