My groups have been getting tighter. I finally split one arrow with another. Glued the split with TB3 and saved the arrow.

I did that with a tonkin arrow that I made and had a mess of time in.  I glued it with Titebond 3 and clamped it overnight.  Then wrapped the entire length of the split with a fine layer of sinew and real hideglue.  I took my first deer with that arrow.  If you try this and get hurt you didn't hear it from me. ;)  Also Great shot.

yeah, thats a shelfer..  me personally, i remove fletchings if i break an arrow.  i dont wanna risk it.  i think i have the same amount of time invest in 3 fletchings that i do in straightening and building an arrow.

Hmmm, a recovered arrow or the possibility of a broken arrowshaft running through my hand or shattering my index joint...Hmmm....

Shiver me timbers, Grunt, nice shot!  Now hang that sucker over the fireplace, er somethin!

I hit an aluminum  bolt from my sons crossbow with the same point as you show in your picture . I was shooting a 45# takedown bow and hit the Easton  Crossbow Hunter  shaft about 2 inches  behind the field point . It left a hole in the shaft and sent the shaft  flying.  I keep it as reminder of how much energy is stored in the tip of the arrow head at it's point of impact .
