Default Shafts to points

Do you guys epoxy/glue your shafts to the point sleeve where the point screws into?

We use epoxy to attach our points to the fiberglass shafts.

No fletch for bowfishing.

Ok thank you Christine i epoxied them last night. Now i need to find a old recurve to shoot don't wanna mess up my deer hunting bow. So anyone with an old cheap recurve around 35-45# and 26.5-28" would do.

I'd look on Ebay, Craigslist and local garage sales for a used bow. Bowfishing equipment takes alot of abuse. Anything from 35-50-pounds is perfect.
