I only shoot aluminums. I've made many dozens cutting them with a tube cutter, which is used for cutting copper tubing. Never messed up a shaft with it.
Mostly all I shoot is 2016
Just like them ,
Thank you Jeff you are the best 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Metal cutting disc works great on a chop saw if you already have one in the garage.
Aluminums are trendy again, and the price 3Rivers Archery charges reflects that. $160 for a dozen cut and fletched
57.99$ shafts only 👍😁
Jeff, man I absolutely love your instructional videos. They are truly explained in an easily understandable manner. They are complete with some tips and tricks included. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Jeff, thank you I love your videos and you’ve taught me so much. I’ve just gotten back into traditional bow the past year you’ve been so helpful. Thanks again.
Spent ten minutes selling the viewer a $200 saw. Wood and carbon shafts put your dremel in a vice, turn it on, and cut a dozen shafts in five minutes, with aluminum shafts use a 5$ mini pipe cutter and zip through the tubing in the same 5-10 minutes. Been cutting aluminum shafts with a little hand held pipe cutter for 50 years.
Also, maybe I missed it but I didn’t see mention of cleaning shafts with acetone or denatured alcohol prior to applying wraps.
Why use super glue for fletching and then use Fletch Tite for leading bead??
Fletch Tite is the only glue I’ve used to fletch my arrows for, you guessed it, about 50 years.
A good instructional video other than the heavy handed saw sales pitch.
Awesome thanks, ran the 2016s last season, they flew well for me
Tried aluminum for the first time last year and I will probably never go back to carbon
It took me 12 months before I built up the courage to build my own arrows lol
I followed your previous video's and a guy from Wisconsin (Retired_Rambler). My form wasn't really consistent enough but... I stuck with it, bare shaft tuning arrows to length, and you said in such cases "just do your best to tune them to length and then fletch 'em!" so that's what I did. Then my form improved so I tested bare shafts again and had to adjust my brace height for dynamic spine and bingo!! Minimal adjustment was required and arrow length was fine!! It must have been very close to begin with. Thanks Jeff!!! Now I show my buddies how to do the same thing!
Neat video. I've been shooting these arrows for over 6 decades now. Appreciate the tips on glue and methods. Thanks so much.
I'm going Back to Aluminum this year and Shooting these Same Arrows. I still Have Three of the Original XX75 ORANGE ones from the late 80s..Been waiting for this upload 👍🏻
They are beautiful!
I used to use Gorilla glue but found it tends to partially dissolve the feather quill. I switched to E6000 glue and it works similar to Fletch-tite glue but easier to find at Walmart type stores. You can get it in clear or black. I found the black more easily shows how well you have spread the glue. I shoot straw bale targets so a drop of glue at the front of each fletching helps keep them from getting ripped off if the heavy arrows 560 to 610 grains pass completely thru the bail. Aluminum arrows are much easier to tune for traditional style heads than carbon. Thanks for all the good info.
What degree helical did you set on your jig? Thanks for the videos!
I run a 5 degree left helical, that’s just enough to spin good but also get good shelf clearance 👍🏻
Thanks! Enjoy the videos
Modsaw is 149.99$ check it out 👍😁
Do you still use a left wing helical vanes for a single bevel broadhead that is a RH bevel (Magnus single bevel)? Really enjoy your videos! Thanks!
LW, RW makes absolutely zero difference, regardless of a1/8” sharpened bevel on a Broadhead. People take the simplest tool in the world and make it as complicated as shooting those damned compound bows with all the doodads hanging off them.
Thanks for another great video Jeff. I’ve always liked aluminum arrows, as you said they have uniform spine so one less thing to deal with and they shoot great. Believe it or not I still have some Autumn Orange arrows I made up from many years ago.
Yes sir!
gorgeous, what's the finished weight of that build please?
510 grains 👍🏻
Best to invest in a saw , so you can tune your arrows and build them yourself , i use xx75 Legacy
$5 mini pipe cutter works pretty well. Just saying 😉
Very nice video.
