Hunting Arrows for Upcoming Fall Season

Postby SteveMcD on Sun Jul 25, 2010 8:09 am

These are made from Surewood Footed Shafts. They are Doug Fir and Bubibinga. Crown Stain with MinWax Black Walnut, Gold Bands and Black Border are Sharpie Paint pen. Four coats of Minwax Clear Gloss Poly. 6 Arrows have 130 gr, STOS 2 Blades, 3 have 125 gr Ace Hex Heads, and 3 have field points. I really like the way these came out, I hope to be hunting with them for a long time.

Being a carbon arrow guy... what is the idea behind footing a shaft? Not trying to be smart or anything, just a dumb question from someone new to "no wheels" technology.

Wood shafts tend to break immediately behind the head when they hit something hard square on. Footing is usually done with a harder denser wood. That helps prevent breakage, and for those who desire it higher overall weight and higher FOC.
God must love stupid because He sure does make a lot of it.
