Nice, clean work, JimB.

I think JimH meant to say "chamfer" instead of "chamber".
My iPhone does that crap to me all the time. I always have to backtrack and edit all of its edits.

2216 is the size to use for GT's or CE 150's.  I foot all of my arrows using 1 1/2 inch and I cover the insert so that it is flush the way JimB shows it.  I've never damaged an arrows since I began doing them this way.  I use JB Weld for both the insert and the footing.
And in the end of our exploring we shall return to the place where we started and know that place for the first time.

Well I went with the 2117 1.5 in to the end of the shaft. I like the way they look. I didn't have a 2216. I would like to try one next time. I had a 2213 but that left just a little gap on the shaft side. I will get some pics of the finished product when I get tham all fletched up.
Thanks for all the help Gang.
