Our season will be over at the end of the month and I want to work with aluminum arrows in the off-season to increase my overall knowledge and to increase my arrow options. What I am looking for are some tips, recommendations and info before I get started.

I am planning on using easton shafts, are there others I should look at?

Straightening shafts. What's that all about, how to do it and what are good straighteners?

Gluing in inserts, nocks etc. What is good glue? Are the glue pots I have seen worth it? I have also seen the heating of a glue stick with a torch and applying it that way. Is that better/preferable?

Any tips about working with aluminum shaftsthat would be helpful would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
