Title: Field tips from 3 rivers
Post by: cmdowell on August 28, 2008, 08:20:00 PM

I ordered the 11/32 glue on steel field tips for some wooden arrows.. Are the suppose to fit all the way onto the shaft? They will slide on to the end of the taper but stop at the untapered wood.. Any help?

Ok.. Are the nock taper and the point taper the same? I bought the bearpaw tool but they seem the same to me.. Sorry i'm just now getting into arrow making

No, they are not the same.  The point taper is longer, 5 degrees and the nock taper is shorter, 11 degrees.  I'm not familiar with the bearpaw tool.
