Another great video Daniel.  It's interesting to note the true amount of energy transferred to the "target" when the arrow holds together.

Pretty cool. You can sure see the difference in how block reacts to each arrow.

Well, most arrows not servicable to me are the ones I lose but if you shoot carbons stumping like I do, yon know sometimes that odd color or limb out there at 30-40 yards turns out to be a rock, and sometimes the rocks hide under the leaves.  So each year I probably lose 10-12 due to busting.  Now I will not.  Thanks and God Bless

The loss of energy on the non- footed arrows is significant. Very interesting video!

Goes to show the durability of a footed carbon arrow.  Thanks for putting together this video, Daniel.  

Cheers, Matt

Excellent video.  I have been shooting footed carbons for over a year now and am a firm believer in footing.

Thanks so much for sharing the video Daniel.

I went stumpin' this morning and shattered a 3555 GT Trad tip. I took it home and cut off the bad part and, even though a bit short, I have a hard core stumper now after footing with a 2117 tube.

Shoulda' done it BEFORE going.   :banghead:

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

I am curious as to how much additional weight the footing added?

Looks like he was using about 1.5" of 2018 to foot the Beman 400.  My guess is 20 grains or so...i'm basing that off the arrows i just footed with 1.5" of 2020
