Will this work for a footing? victory 600 shaft

[Longtoke]

I'm looking for some alum footing material for vforce 600 spine shafts.

The shafts have an outside diameter of .284

I found a couple of 2014 easton alum shafts which should have an inside diameter of .298

This leaves of difference of .014 thousands of an inch.


Is that enough wiggle room for the footing?

I would slide it over the shaft and let it tell you.  I have footed arrows before and I like them to be tight, not loose.  But that is just MY preference.

a 2014 shaft works out to .284.inside diameter. 14 doubled equals 28. .312 minus .028 equals .284.

2014 shaft should work with maybe a little sanding of the vforce shafts.

Ideally I would just try it, but I am ordering online  :( .


maybe I have been calculating inside diameter wrong?

Here is my method

2014=    20/64      14/1000

20/64= 0.3125

14/1000= 0.014

then the outside diameter - the thickness would be the inside diameter.

.3124-.014= .2985

No,

.3124 -.014-.014= .284

Have to deduct wall thickness twice.

[Longtoke]

I see.  The that makes the tolerance even tighter....

[Longtoke]

Im thinking I will need at least a little room for glue in there, what about a 2114 Easton? that will give me about .016 thousands gap for glue.

?

I have a bag of 2114 shaft pieces in the St Jude auction #3 that could be had for a donation if you want to try them out.

[screamin]

a 2013 XX75 Platinum Plus should be .2865. 2012 which I don't think they make anymore is .2885. 2117 is .2941

[Longtoke]

after searching more I found this chart    http://outdoorcore.com/arrowdata/arrowfit1.pdf  

Screamin, you were right on the money,

I was unable to find any 2012 shafts but I did find 2013 and 2117 shafts for sale by the single, at this point I think the sweet spot is somewhere between the two. Maybe the 2013 eastons with a bit of sanding will do the trick.

Im trying to theory craft as much as I can so I don't waste too much cash on trial and error. thank you all for your help, you guys have already saved me a fist full of dollars lol

Stumbled across this in the How-To forum.  Maybe it will help.  I don't shoot carbons, so I'm a lost ball in high weeds.
