It works !

The drawback to the Gordon shafts were that the inserts were too small and hitting something solid would slam the insert up into the shaft. I footed mine with a 3 inch piece of 2413 shaft - epoxyed it and it fit tight to begin with. Then , I epoxyed the 2413 inserts in as well. First shot this afternoon was into a sweetgum tree, straight on and no damage to the shaft at all - and I shot it 30 more time or more this afternoon too with no efects at all. The extra FOC don't seem to matter either - they flew quite well.

I think they are fantastic stump shooting shafts (haven't broadhead tested them yet)and might be a great hunting shaft as well.

Great idea Tox - thanks for the tip, I ordered 24 more off the net today !
