Trad Gang

Hey Gang,
I've been asked a few times about how I prefer to sleeve my carbon arrows.  I finally got around to putting together a quick video.

2117 for gt 3555 (I like 2 inch up frount and 1/4 on the nock)

good video

well done, thanks

Hey bud, good stuff!  I have a hard time finding 24hr epoxy, so I use JB Weld.  

I've also gone to glue in nock adapters to keep the back end of my carbons from cracking. Makes for a very tuff back end of the arrow. I've never had any damage since I started using them and glue on nocks.  On an extremely hard impact, I will blow the nock off, but just glue another on the adapter.  
But they add expense and are getting hard to find.....I'm gonna have to try the short sleeve on the back.

I also need to get one of those de-burring tools!

Nice video as always   :thumbsup:

Good video.  I do it the same expect I bevel both ends of the sleve and I use Gorilla Glue.  It expands as it dries and fills in any gaps between the shaft and sleve.  And you don't have to worry about mixing it.  Great job on the video!

Thanks Gang!

Sweet arrows Bldtrailer!

Thanks for the added input bro!

RM81, thanks for the suggestion on Gorilla Glue.  It's always nice to hear what everyone's using.

Aloha!
Ryan

Thanks Ryan !

Love the how too's!

Good stuff Ryan !!!  :thumbsup:

Good videos! Does this change the spine of the arrow at all or if it does is it enough to worry about?

Alexander, for the size sleeves that I use, it doesn't affect the spine enough for me to tell.

Added weight to the front or end of a shaft can change the spine, but because the end sleeve is only a few grains and the front sleeve is only 10 grains, this specific set up doesn't change my tuning.  With that said, I will still tune with all the components added to my arrow.  

Hope that helps.  Let me know if you have additional questions.

Ryan

Thanks Ryan,I've been thinking about doing this for some time and then saw your videos and thought I would give it a try. I found a bunch of arrows I used to shoot when I was a kid at my dad's so I'll sort through them and see if I can find anything I can use.

Am I the only one that gets a "Gallery not found"
message?

Kat,

Hope this one works better for you.

I went back to look at the video again,and got that message Ken. Yeah that worked Ryan you must have posted right before I did.

Thanks Ryan. The You Tube link worked great.

Anytime Ken!     :thumbsup:

Great Video! Thanks Ryan!

Thanks!    :thumbsup:

Super Vid Ryan, just like your others!
By the way, I've never seen a workbench as clean as yours  :)

Where do you get one of those debur tools? I currently chuck the footing up in a drill(lightly or you will crush them) and spin them on a file to cut the angle/bevel. I also put the footing on the shaft first, then jb weld on the shaft, then slide the footing down. Havent found the need to smear any on the back like shown in the video. Great video as usual, thanks.

Go to a reloading supply Kenneth.

Thanks Alex, found some.

Great info here..

I really like that workbench and especially the wall cabinets you have there..  Care to share the source?  I just bought a new place, need to rig out my garage/workshop.!

Thanks for the kind words Gang!

Thanks Lance,  yes it does take some work.  I'm just glad that my wife's patient.  I should make a bloopers how to video!  You should see how much deleting and editing we have to do!

Sorry for not responding earlier Kenneth, been a hectic day.  Sounds like you found one.  

Here's a link to a deburring tool for others.
