Thanks all for the reply on my question.
I will let go of the idea.
I dont like to get hurt while participating our great sport.
I will have to make some 'bag' that can hold my arrows.

guys i dont wanna sound like im a know it all, but that dont sound good. im a tool&die maker, i work with metals everyday. any joint in a piece of metal is a weakness. and alum is even weaker than most metals, alum is a alloy it wears very easy at rub and contact points. if you use metal thread, it will after time wear your insert out. then the wall thickness of your arrow will go. its just not worth the risk of putting the back half of your arrow through ya hand. i' ve seen takedwon arrows, but they were sleved, not inserted with thread. but still why ask for trouble, ive never had a reason for a takedown arrow. they just aint that long.
but this is just my opinon, but would hate to see someone hurt.
takecare, God Bless, Billy

For the sake of argument lets accept 1) it can be done 2) it can be done safely (despite the fact that over the lifetime of an arrow 100 shots ain't nothing) and 3) the arrows can be shot accurately the fact remains that your whole set up will have to be retuned for those arrows, starting from the ground up. I flat simply refuse to accept the idea that one could switch between the two at will and have the bow continue to shoot the same.

I'm trying to figure out why a thread that was over 8 years old was resurrected like it was posted last week?
I've been a lot of places and known a lot of archers...never saw a take-down arrow before.
I have considered making a take-down atlatl dart, just because I have a bunch of old aluminum shafts that I don't know what else I could do with them. Since the stress would be much lower on them vs. a bow, I think they might work.
