If you have ever wanted to use screw on heads with wood shafts,an don,t want to use the ugly alloy adapters,there is a way.This is what I do.
I like bear broadheads, so to mount them I use a two inch length of 2413
super light easton alloy shaft.I cut the shaft an glue the insert as per normal,then I slip fit the thing onto my 11/32 wood shaft.It is a very tight
fit so I don,t use any glue.If I break my arrow I can just dig out the wood
an use the head,insert an shaft peice again.
Have fun,,Jack.

Jackrat,
That is an excellent idea about the replaceable tips. It would add considerable strength to the arrow just behind the head as well.
MIK, what's with the camo arrows???? Aren't they hard enough to find as it is??? The critters will see you moving through the bush long before they see arrows in a quiver or on a bow.
I use woods with 6inch white parabolic feathers (which I cut myself) with red plastic nocks so I can follow them in flight and see them against a dull background. I have stood still in front of lots of critters when pegged during a stalk with my white flags showing in my backquiver without problem - until I moved.
White/light colours are naturally occurring in our bush and don't stand out disturbingly if you move VERY slowly so that your movement doesn't stand out against the natural movement of wind-blown vegetation as in still-hunting technique or in stationary stand-hunting.
Most critters reckon we stink more than look bad.
Stickbowhunter once wrote a very good article in the defunct Australian Bowhunter on natural non-military camo. He showed how check patterned ordinary upper clothing was just as good a camo pattern by showing colour and mono pictures of the same scene of a hunter among some bushes. His white feathers were not a significant feature of a mono background in these pictures as I recall.
