Help me make a 1000gr. + arrow.

I used Microflite 12s with hardwood inside, I found that to be too stiff so I went to cedar inside the 12s.

I am shooting a full length 250 spine Dangerous Game right now with the HIT insert as 50 grains...with 300 grain points it is at about 940 grains...if I had left the insert at 75 it would be at about 965...not a big deal to glue in a couple of inserts butted together for another 75 grains...very staightforward set up

Daz and stik and string that's kind of in the ball park I want to go. I this is a big debate in trad the carbon arrow, but I myself prefer aluminum have ever since I started. Even compound days lol.

If i remember correctly i picked up the original recipe for those aluminums from an old article by Paul Schafer. I played with a few different sleeved shaft combos, but kept going back to that one.

Sounds intersting. Can you still buy a half dozen arrows.

Also how long do you make the footing

When i was making "frankenarrows" more regularly, i would buy odd quantities here on the TG, the big auction site, or anywhere else i could buy them without paying a premium.

My usual footings were 1-3 inches depending on how much i needed to stiffen up the spine, and also if i wanted to up the FOC a bit. My experience has been that aluminums respond to footing as much if not more than carbons, with an inch of footing behined the insert adding approximately 4-5 lbs of stiffness.

I'm actually digging through my boxes to build a few for a goose hunt next week. I'm hoping to find enough pieces to build some 2219's footed with 1 1/4 inches of 2419 and some big natural turkey flu-flu's. A few 300gr broadheads and i should be good to go.
