Delw Thats good to know.I'll give the carbon a try first then.How did the tubes turn out on the xx75's other than the shaft getting hot to handle. Good ole duct tape could be built up on the end of the arrow for a grip too.

I have loads of aluminum and carbon arrow shafts, those could work if I find a diameter I like I would think.The aluminum arrow shaft being hollow would allow for quick heat disapation.They already have a threaded insert on one end too.Just cut them to length and plug up the end with some JB weld. The RTV that M-F sells for making molds would be a dynamite product to coat a wooden dowel with.Way pricey stuff though. These are just some ideas I'm bouncing around as I have yet to start another addicting hobby.Rod building being my first.
