raymond, i didnt think it was a joke at all, ive seen takedown arrows, they are very useful with sheep hunters, and in newzeland with bulltar hunters, they have to pack for miles just to get to camp sites. but these arrows were sleved, im not sure how they connected though. the sleve keeps them running straight. with just a thread end to end connection, you couldnt get more than a .008 of a inch trueness in your shaft. a class A thread tap will only tap within .016. that means you would have a .008 of an inch wooble in your shaft. easton makes shafts to run within .002 and even some closer. dont think none of us would want that. i sure hope i didnt offend you in anyway, i really enjoy reading your post. takecare, God Bless
