Hardware for Take-Down Arrows???

[Teacher_of_the_Arcane]

Hi All,

I'm looking for the hardware to splice two (or more) aluminum arrow shafts together.  There are glue in inserts, and a screw in "gizmo" with threads on both ends to join the shafts in the middle.  Any leads on a supplier???

Get some stainless steel 1 1/2" 8-32 screws and cut the heads off. It will allow you to screw 2 inserts together.

(I'm not sure how strong it will be though,only some "stumping" will tell)

Thanks Chuck,

I may end up trying that, but I know I've seen the hardware for sale somewhere.  I'll keep looking for a while yet.

Depending on the size of the aluminin shaft, use sawn off pieces of carbon arrows and a good two part epoxy.  You want a piece about 4" long.  This lets you put an insert in and change from field tips to broad heads.

Martin archery used to sell small pieces of aluminum shaft that was split from end to end.You pushed it half way into each arrow half..No glue needed.I shot a set for a couple years with no problems at all...Call a Martin Archery supplier.bowdoc

i've used wood dowels with good success.glue into the front half and then when shot it's always pushing the joint together.

I make 2 size takedown arrows.  One, I use 2117's that I cut in the middle and splice with 4 inches of carbon shaft.  The other arrow is a 2213 spliced with 4 inches of a 2018 shaft. I fine tune the arrow flight with broadhead weight and brace height if I need to.  These arrows fly true out of my bows.

Just some ideas - never done this myself but what about cutting shaft in half, installing two RPS inserts and use an 8-32 stud to screw them together?

Maybe have to true up the faces of the RPS inserts with a G5 ASD and use RW fletching so the arrow doesn't "unscrew"....
