Scotch blood (arrow repair) pics.
« on: July 11, 2010, 04:00:00 PM »
Simple way to save a couple of broke arrows.Fasten two pieces to a block of wood with rubberbands.Sand on belt sander.Glue with titebond wood glue.Clamp,line up by eye and let dry.The glue joint is stronger then the wood.I just hate to waste 2 perfectly broken arrows.

No hunter should feel guilty for killing a deer that doesnt meet someone else's expectations.

I do it all the time.If it breaks again it is in another part of the shaft.Not much differant then a laminated shaft.I also only do this near the point end,like footing a shaft.

Joints like that are plenty strong for arrow repair.
Good job, arrows ain't cheap!

Cool.  That's pretty much what I do.  I make the glue surface 3 1/2" on each piece.  Probably overkill.  Never had one fail. The joint is stronger than the original shaft...Van
