Another great video Daniel.  It's interesting to note the true amount of energy transferred to the "target" when the arrow holds together.

Pretty cool. You can sure see the difference in how block reacts to each arrow.

Great video! Thanks for posting.
Ive never shot at a Concrete block surposedly but the vid shows my experience with footing arrows, they get darn tough  

Well, most arrows not servicable to me are the ones I lose but if you shoot carbons stumping like I do, yon know sometimes that odd color or limb out there at 30-40 yards turns out to be a rock, and sometimes the rocks hide under the leaves.  So each year I probably lose 10-12 due to busting.  Now I will not.  Thanks and God Bless

Very interestingi sure do enjoy your videos.well done

The loss of energy on the non- footed arrows is significant. Very interesting video!

Professional quality videos, stump arrow building, and stumpin'.

Thanks for the post and lesson!  

Cool vid! I think I'm going to track down some 2216's.  

Goes to show the durability of a footed carbon arrow.  Thanks for putting together this video, Daniel.  

Cheers, Matt

Excellent video.  I have been shooting footed carbons for over a year now and am a firm believer in footing.

Thanks so much for sharing the video Daniel.

Great information. A picture is really worth a thousand words.

I went stumpin' this morning and shattered a 3555 GT Trad tip. I took it home and cut off the bad part and, even though a bit short, I have a hard core stumper now after footing with a 2117 tube.

Shoulda' done it BEFORE going.  

Great test video. But I think the Memories of a wonderful day video is the best I have seen yet. Congrats on both

           

Your videos are top notch, thanks for taking the time.

excellent video and test.Better hunt patio block with footed shafts!  :D

Great video. Ever do a test like this footing aluminum shafts?

I am curious as to how much additional weight the footing added?

Looks like he was using about 1.5" of 2018 to foot the Beman 400.  My guess is 20 grains or so...i'm basing that off the arrows i just footed with 1.5" of 2020
