wood arrows and target burn

[Bud B.]

I dip my wood shafts in a 50/50 mix of Minwax oil poly gloss, not the wipe on stuff, and low odor mineral spirits. Dip twice, then steel wool rubdown, then one more dip.

Not one bit of target burn problem.

Epoxy!    

I have used dalys for a long time now, it burns!   But i like it, since developing a epoxy sensitivity.  

Gl would be a close second to epoxy, if it wouldnt crack!    It does not do well in my environment!  

Theres no such thing as waterproof finishes.   Only vary degrees of water resistant.  Some do much better than others obviously!   That said epoxy comes pretty close!   It has by far out lived all my other concoctions over the years.

Gasket Lacquer also

Thinned minwax oil based poly or Daly's pro-fin both work well for me. Daly's is hard to get here, so I use the minwax.

Eclipse makes a field point called a Chubby Bunny that has a "waist" that is larger diameter than the arrow shaft.  Limits penetration in foam and seems to open the hole just enough to protect the finish.  Only 125 and 145 grain weights, though.

For those with aluminum or carbon arrows that stick, Goldtip's EZ Pull points look like they do the same thing. Haven't tried them myself, I use Saunders combo points in heavier weights than the EZ Pull points.
