primitive arrow question

[sar]

If you cut slot into a primitive arrow to accept a stone or trade point, how do you go about changing from field tips for practice to hunting(trade and stone) points and back again?

I was thinking of using rivercane and making two types of foreshafts, 1 tapered for a field tip and one slotted for trade and stone blades.  I'd use hot melt glue to exchange the foreshafts.  

How do folks usually deal with this issue?  I'm not a good enough archer to not practice with the same arrows and feel confident going into the field...

ive not shoot primative shafts before. but from what i heard you put the stone points on and shoot them to test the flight.if they fly well put them a way. make some more up with feld points that shoot good. then when hunting season comes around shoot the stone tipped ones a couple times to get use to them again.thats what i remember hearing. i would still wait for someone who knows more to come along though.

I don't use fore shafts. I fill the hole with a dowel and taper it just like any arrow for a field point. I do this for stone and trade points but cut the slot in the taper to accept the point.
Longbow is correct. Generally when I make arrows for hunting I haft the point and test shoot it a few times before using it to hunt. Proiodically I'll shoot it to be sure it is still true.
   I have a big ruberized foam target butt to test all my arrows and for everyday shooting. I shoot everything into it.   Pat

along with using a primitive shaft, has anyone ever made or used bone instead of stone to make broadheads? If so do you have to temper? how tough are they?

Ask Doug Campbell, He took a few animals last year with bone arrow heads.   Pat
