    Cutting and arrow to length and using wraps

    I am not sure what you mean when you say mark the nock position and then wrap right next to the nock. Can you clarify?

    Cutting and arrow to length and using wraps

    Hey All, I am going down the arrow building and tuning hole and had a question. I have been reading about bare shaft tuning and that you should cut your arrow a little longer and then trip the back end of the arrow until it is tuned and flying properly. If I plan on using a wrap won't this...

    Refletching Easton Bloodline arrows - Help

    The underside of the fletching looks grey and I can see the old fletching lines on the arrow where they were removed from. These were all factory arrows so I am not sure if the glue that was used has something to do with it. I did not use that much pressure with the defletching knife when...

    Heavier Broad head vs. Inserts

    My arrows are 483 grains now pulling 70#. I just bought the bow so and have to site it in more, and I'm sure tune. I want to play around with my set up and see what flies best. Currently I have no insert in the arrow but I'm shooting a 125 grain head.

    Heavier Broad head vs. Inserts

    Hello All, Can you explain the benefit of using an insert over just using a heavier broad head. I see people using a 50 grain insert with a 100 grain BH. Why not just got with a 150 grain head? BK

    Day Six HD Arrows

    Been looking at these arrows as well. I want to start building my arrows and that is the only reason I am hesitant to pull the trigger. A dozen are pretty pricey, and I would hate to mess them up because I am not knowledgeable yet in building my own arrows.

    Arrow Building Guide

    When does one become aware of the perfect arrow length? Should you cut them an inch 1/2 longer then your draw or longer and then as you cut the 1/8 after each shot once grouping at 20 are you good? I don't want to under or over cut.

    Arrow Building Guide

    Shooting a compound. I don't use wraps but haven't scratched out the possibility. I think the only benefit for wraps IMO is you can see the type of hit better when analyzing blood and can locate an arrow better.

    Arrow Building Guide

    Thanks for the feedback! So if I had a 27 inch draw would I cut the arrow to 28 1/2 or 29 and then start cutting an 1/8 of an inch off at a time from the nock end to so where the groups tighten up? Never done this before so not sure when you know you are in a good spot or where to start.
