Squirrel arrows
« on: December 22, 2007, 05:24:00 PM »
The weather is terrible here, so I have been working on arrows. Just wondering if anyone else out there splices (foots) broken arrows back together to shoot at squirrels. I have been doing this for quite a few years to save money.  Maybe I should just get a job that pays better.

I do it with both aluminum and wood shafts. Simple gluing a short, straight piece of old aluminum shaft over a broken wood arrow to make a servicable arrow for squirrels and other forms of small game...

 Yeah I'm cheap too when it comes to my stumping or squirrel arrows. I fix woods with aluminums too.

I just did it for the first time with my Carbon CX 150's.  I hope to test them on some pheasants in Nebr. over Christmas.  If they can still shoot well for small game, seems almost foolish not to salvage them.
