I read a post on here by someone who says he just superglues broken arrows back together and carries on? I think it was in a post about people resplicing broken bow limbs and carrying on. Must admit both ideas scare me! But ... wonder what others think?

Bottom one is the lighter arrow - both have no rubber jobbies now on string

So these arrows weigh 480 and 320 respectively

So if we number these GIFs 1 through 4 from the beginning of the thread why is number 2 so different? Release?

Maybe release. I also don’t have a nocking point on the string so maybe that’s varied a little? But I think mostly cost it’s a 637 grain arrow?

I thought 3 or 4 was the same arrow as number 1. That explains a lot.

So no 4 and No 1 are the same light 320 grain arrow. No 1 has rubber finger saver thingies on the string. They are about 40 grains. No 4 had them removed.

No 2 is a very heavy 630 grain arrow. No 3 is a medium heavy arrow! No rubber things!

OK If you just look at the strings on 1 and 4 that 40 grains makes a lot of difference. Interesting stuff, thanks for that.
