Crash course on footing shafts

Hey guys, I'm a relative noob. I have been soaking up knowledge non-stop looking for my first trad harvest any day now. I am extremely interested in footing carbon shafts, but don't really know where to start. Can some of you guys with experience give me the crash course to get started?? Basics, how to, theory, these kinds of things. Thanks in advance.
Shoot straight,
Jake

There is a sizing chart in the how to's I believe. Mae sure you have the right size aluminum to foot with. Get a small tubing cutter( you can pick one up cheap from a hardware store) get a deburring tool for the inside and out side of the aluminum(also fairly cheap from a store that sells reloading supplies) and some apoxy. I cut mine 1 1/2" for the front and I think 1/2 or 3/4 for the back. Clean the shaft with acetone or something similar before you apply the apoxy. I think I watched how to on that one video site if you search stump shooting. Good luck.

I can describe why. The last time you shot a rock or some thing hard most likely the insert and point drove back into the shaft. The aluminum sleeve makes this harder to do. The last ones I put on I cut an arrow shaft of the right diameter to length I desired. Chucked the piece of footing in a drill and tapered the back on a file. I cleaned the shaft and footing with acetone and used JB Weld to secure them in place. I bet there are easier or better ways but that is the way I do it.

1) Verify the right shaft size to use
2) Cut to the desired length, I prefer 2" because that's the length of my heavy inserts
3) Deburr with file or chamfer tool
4) Clean inside of footing and outside of shaft with acetone or alcohol
5) JB weld the footing on there

Advice above is good info.
Don't forget to chamfer the outside rear edge of the aluminum shafting BEFORE installing it on the arrow shaft. I use an electric drill for this. Just put the short aluminum shaft footing in the drill just like you would a drill bit and chuck it tight, but not too tight, and pull the trigger to make it spin. Put the edge of the aluminum shaft at an angle against a file laid out on a flat surface and smooth out the sharp edge of the aluminum shaft footing. This will make removing the arrow from bag targets a breeze.
