Footing wood arrows with alum?
« on: September 15, 2010, 04:57:00 PM »
I did a serch and didn't find what I was looking for. Probably my search ability  :D  . What size alum shaft do you use to foot a 11/32" wood shaft and how long of a piece works best. Do you use epoxy to install. Thanks, Don

try any archery shop that has a archery league. They should have some bent ones.
