I just use an elcheapo pocketknife with a semi dull edge on a thin, small bladeto deburr my shafts.
LOL Well, I'll give that a shot too .

Whatever you use, make sure not to cut away more than 1/2 the shaft's wall thickness. If you cut too much of a chamfer, it will serve as a funnel to run the insert straight up inside the shaft andruin your prized arrowthe first time you hit something hard.
That is very good to know. Thanks again.
