Well this past Saturday I was at a 3D shoot at Whittingham WMA, in Jersey... I came home with 3 broken tips on my arrows... What to do!!!
Well I fixed them by cutting a small piece of 2317 Easton shafts as a coupling ... I have 1 arrow that I can change the screw-in tips.
All you have to do is... take a old shaft 2317 (this is what I used) cut them about 2" long, this will give you room to add the insert or another piece of wood. Next mark the depth on the shaft & then start to sand down the shaft at the end. Test for a tight fit. Check your arrow to make sure it is true. Next You add glue (any kind even hot melt) to the wood'n shaft slide it on to the shaft to the mark, Now add the other small piece of wood...If your going to use glue on tips, if not add insert.
As You can see in the pic's ( sorry for them being blurry ) I have 1 that I can change the tips ( screw-in ) & another one for glue on tips.
The arrows will gain little weight but still fly great....Now ... on the wood'n tips, if they brake again at the point, just remove it from the coupling & add a new piece... tapper and add point... done.
I have found that this works better then the other screw-in adapters on the market. I hope this works for someone else too....
