Q: How do you match these arrows for spine and what taper do you use for points, also what glue for points? Asked on 12/6/2012 by Jason Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: These arrows are not matched for spine. In order to match them you will need to measure them with a spine tester. Most of the points will be 5/16. A hot melt glue will work the best. Answered on 12/6/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery

Q: What spine are these arrows Asked on 9/27/2010 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer Q: Can these be used with nocs, tips, and fletchings that would be used on regular wood shafts? Would it change the integrity of the flight? If so, how? I take part in Midieval Re-inactments. Asked on 8/29/2010 by mrsdances from Phoenix, AZ Know the answer? Answer this question 4 answers A: You will need the Fore Shaft Blanks (item #6640-2) to use points, and for glue-on nocks you will need the Nock Blanks (item #6640-1), but yes, then you can use standard wood arrow components with the Heat Tempered Bamboo Arrow Shafts. Answered on 8/30/2010 by Johnathan Karch from 3Rivers Archery A: European Medieval arrows have a solid shaft, usually self nocked. If your persona is steppe,Central or East Asian then bamboo shafts are correct. Europeans used both tanged and hollow piles. There is commonality between Eastern and Western points, so there are European points which would work on bamboo. Fletches seem to be mainly of two styles, either crested like you see on Mongol and Chinese arrows in illustrations or straight cut as on Kyudo arrows. Use care removing; pull straight holding the shaft as close to the entry point as possible to avoid cracking the arrow. Eastern nocks are made mostly of horn from Water Buffalo, Ibex etc. They also have to be inserted into the hollow bamboo shaft, glued and whipped to reinforce the end. There would be no paralell with Western nocking methods, though there would be with Turkic arrows. Bob Answered on 9/2/2010 by Rhobert am y bwa from Moscow, Idaho A: You can also self nock these, just make sure you use the size with the largest diameter. Answered on 9/16/2010 by jpfranco from toronto, ON A: Both hollow ends of these shafts can be filled with appropriate sized wood dowel rods glued in, trimmed flush,and tapered. A disc sander would be best for tapering, as bamboo is hard and fiberous. Ends behind point and nock can be re-enforced with sinew, but I'm not sure if it is needed. Many variables effect "flight Integrity", whether using natural or man-made materials. Bamboo performs as well, if not better, as any other material. It won't be erratic, if that is your question.
