Replacing Bowfishing Points
« on: May 19, 2007, 12:45:00 PM »
I have an old bowfishing arrow that needs a new point. How do I get the old one off?? I'm afraid to try heat for melting the fiberglass!!!!  :help:    :help:    :help:
Sawdust, Wood Chips, and Shavings are as close to Potpourri as I get!!!!!!

Only way I know is to cut the shaft off behind the old point and epoxy on a new point. However to replace that point you have to cut the shaft again. I personally replace the point after the first cut with a adapter (middle of pic) and glue the new point on with 411 locktite. then the point can be heated and replaced as needed. I also epoxy on a nock adapter with the push in type nock, so I can replace broken nocks quick and easy. All of these things avalible through Muzzy.

If its brown its down; thats my motto.
