Thanks again Blake, I'm looking to get the Arrow Fix tool ... I break my share of arrows while out stumping.  :archer2:

Breaking while stumping you may consider the type of woodies you are using. I use bright colored hard rock maples for stumping because they are toughest from side hits like rocks and logs.

I've made a number of jigs and experimented with various splices and footings.  As was mentioned two wing and four wing joints work equally well, as does a single scarf joint, just not as attractive.  Have shot all into concrete walls, the joint never has let go.  The wood just fails elsewhere.

Now that Kevin is up and running again,  I'm going to order some of the different hardwood shafts he has and see how they hold up.  :archer2:

Yes, I am going to try some Purple Heart dowels to see how much weight it will add really don't need the weight most of my arrows are 580gr.
