I wanted to bring this back up to ask a few more questions, and advice. I have finally found a good splice size match for my carbons. I want to do a friction style splice, should I glue the splice piece on the nock end or the point end? How long should this piece be? I have long arrows, if you were going to make two slices per arrow, where would you make them? Ideally three equal pieces would be my choice. I'm just not sure if this would be the best structurally. This splice piece is a lighter spined arrow, I assume that is about the only way you can do it with carbon, do you think that will work? Carbon has a tendency to fray at cut edges, do you think a little glue or other product ?? on the edges, where the arrow comes together would help or hurt?.... thanks doug
