Really curious to try them for making my own arrows. Coming from carbon, I really like the ability to use screw-in tips on wood. My wild-harvested shafts are primarily hardwoods, but I think the tooling set should be able to handle it just fine. I’m mainly attracted by the fact I wouldn’t have to taper and glue on the heads.

I’m really trying to invest time into achieving the perfect tune for my arrows but I’m noticing that in order to acquire the variety of components (inserts, shafts, points) of varying weights and spines, I have to buy everything somewhat piecemeal.

What do y’all suggest I do in order to be able to acquire everything I need to dial in my tune? Are there any bundles or kits available?

I got a new set of the same arrows to replace the originals that I’ve been shooting and have had a good tune with - Black Eagle Vintage, 400sp, 30 3/8”, aluminum insert, 100gr field point. I also shoot a 45#@28 Oberon longbow fwiw.

I went to the local shop and I gave them the wrong carbon to carbon length and ended up with 29 1/2” shafts. Everything else is the same. The trouble now is that it’s a bit stiff due to the shorter length.

Would switching out a 125gr or 150gr field point help tune it back in? Fortunately I still have finger clearance off my shelf for hunting purposes.
