Mike, the one I did before was with a single, long taper and a wrap. I'm still shooting that arrow after 4 or more years.     Pat

Pat, I am sure you will think of this.   ???  Cut the shaft, split it and insert a wedge of the same wood. Glue and wrap and with your skills it should be as good as new.   ;D

Looking forward to seeing how you repair the arrow, Pat.  I never had much luck repairing damaged nocks.  Good luck.

Isn't that something Was just out doing last minute practice before heading out on the hunt tomorrow. shot just about a perfect x ring with my best hand fletched, sinue wrapped  bamboosa arrow from thirty yards then promptly shot a fletch off of it, was ready to do final sharpening and now am back to fletching. Well at least a fletch is better than a nock.    Kenneth

Paul, I started out with 12 hardwood shoot and cane practice arrows and I am down to 5 now. ::) The down side to hardwood and cane is a lost arrow is gone for good. They rot quickly.  Cedars, on the other hand are never lost just misplaced. You can find them under piles of leaves, wet, feathers gone and the field point almost rusted through and after a few days of drying out, some new fletching and point, it will shoot again.  I, however, feel better offering my hard earned arrows back to Mother Nature in hopes she will reward me this fall.  ;)   There are plenty more shoots and canes out there and enough obsession on my part to make plenty more arrows.    ;)     Pat

Dang, me to Paul, plus it got dark on me.  I think we can modify Jeff Foxworthy's tagline.... If you've ever mowed your yard and found a dozen arrows, You Might be a Redneck.  ;D
