free marketing idea for 3R!!

Also "Calgarychef", understand about using footings if ya are shooting around rocks alot and understand the need for that group of shooters.

No good reason to cut up good shafts if you can get alu stock from a supply house.
McMaster Carr carries alu tube in most sizes. PN:89965K45 should fit Cx shafts and is onlt $12 for a 6' length.  They even have steel tube if you want a heavier footing.

If you have a local supply shop they can most likely order about any ID/OD tube you need if you ask them.

Edit:  Forgot to mention, 3R already has machined footings that will fit most any shaft.  No need to cut up their expensive aluminum.

That may be the next gimmick for a carbon arrow manufacturer, a footed carbon shaft.  Has anybody emailed this suggestion to any of the major arrow manufacturers?

Vintage Archery  at

sells arrow footings already made up for most arrow sizes.
Richie Nell makes these footings for us they are also  available to other dealers directly from him.

Charlie's list of footing sizes does not have a size for the Beeman Ics 500s, any one know what size they take.  I plan on ordering some soon and want to foot some for roving.

Joe, can you tell me what the "double footing" is?

CALGARYCHEF

The double footing is a additional piece of tubing about ½ “ long that fits over the 2”main footing .The purpose i is to strengthen or double up at the weak spot right above the point (field point or broadhead). Some don’t think it is necessary, as some don’t want a collar on the knock end.   Both are included in the kit to make it versatile.

Using the  TuffHead that has a 23/64 “ ferrule and a 11/32 adapter the single footing will actually fit  around the arrow below the lip  of the ferrule making a extremely strong joint. The ferrule actually acts as a double footing. A little confusing but this link may clear it up

I have only been carrying this kit for a short while, as it is new on the market. I am using it on my own arrows and love it. I have only had good feed back from customers about it.
