Ok, I am just getting into traditional archery...sort of. (I hunted with a recurve a couple weekends several years ago, achieved my goal had to put it down do to stress in the limbs. Anyways, that is another story for another time.)
I have a longbow on order right now and I got to thinkin 'If I am going to be a bear, might as well be a grizzly bear'. So I did some research and spent way too much at 3Rivers on wooden shafts (pre spined and tapered), taper tool, paints, etc. Long story short, I didn't buy enough laquer to fill the dip tube I bought. I read on the label were it said not to use PVC. What are some other materals I could make a dip tube out of?
If only the dip tube I bought was half the diameter it would be great. I really don't see the need to have a 1 1/4" diameter tube to dip an 11/32" arrow....or am I wrong?
