footed arrows?
« on: May 27, 2009, 06:40:33 pm »
I'm going to try some footed shafts. I need to know how long the splice should be. I want to make the 4 cut for lack of a better term. Not the v-splice the other one.  How long should the splice section be?

About 3"-4" is what Gene Langston recommends in the TBB vol. 3.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Longer tapers are better and easier on the eyes. Like steve said 4"

Longer are also easier to keep the footing in line with the shaft when gluing.
