What are thoughts/feelings on footers or impact collars on standard diameter shafts? I’m building some Goldtip XT Hunter 300 spine which are standard diameter .246 ID and looking to add a footer for a bit more durability and added FOC. I’m not finding much available for standard diameter shafts, most everything I’m finding commercially is for .204 or .166.
Looking like if I’m doing this I’d go with a aluminum shaft cut to 1.5-2” long and epoxy that on. Pretty common in the trad community.
Would an aluminum footer really add much strength?
Is it worth it to have to move to 11/32” broadheads so as to not have a hard shoulder at the shaft?
anyone make hardened steel collars for standard diameter shafts?
Thanks.
