>The shaft must be 28" from nock to head.  I would think a cone would still allow for a panic overdraw.  Most kingdoms that use "full" shafts use a long piece of electrical tape at the 28" mark to build up a stopper.  The taper of a cone would still allow me to draw back to 30" it would just mess up the flight characteristics.  Just what we want, an overdrawn, wild shot.  In General it's easier to just get your fibreglass cut to 28.5 inches (the point five is list in the Head)  If you're buying fishing arrows you're porbably paying too much.  If you're buying kids fiberglass arrows they're probably hollow.  You can get fibreglass from materials suppliers for about $0.40 a foot and they usually cut it to length for you. (For a slight charge per cut)

>The Ansteorran APD says it needs to be wrapped in Strapping tape but doesn't say you can't go a step further and wrap it in duct tape also.  Other APDs melt and roll the leading and trailing edge of the GT instead of wrapping them in strapping tape but again they don't preclude covering the apd in duct tape.  (I'm sorry guys but the duct tape final covering looks better than the strapping tape.)

>The White in snow heads out into the Ocean and becomes the foam on top of the waves.  (I mean really, blue water can't make white foam)  When it's done with that little joy ride it dyes the sands on beaches white.  That's why all the really tropical places have black sand beaches.

>>Greetings All,
>>
>>I need the latest scoop on combat arrows.  Do fiberglass shafts have to be
>>wrapped with strapping tape?
>>
>>Yes.
>>
>>Is a full length shaft (30") too long or can it be used "as is"?
>>
>>The draw length can still only be 28 inches.  That is from where the string
>>rests in the nock to the back of the head.  So, if you're using a 30 inch
>>fiberglass shaft, measure from the nock forward 28 inches.  Use tape to form
>>a cone fron the back of the combat head to that 28 inch mark.
>>
>>Does the APD have to be covered with duct tape or is the strapping tape
>>enough?
>>
>>
>>Don't cover the APD with duct tape.  The leading and trailing edges of the
>>APD must be covered with strapping tape if using the Golf Tube APD.
>>
>>
>>Are the up to date requirements for combat arrows posted somewhere?
>>
>>I think so, but I don't have that web site handy here at work.
>>
>>What have I forgot to ask?
>>
>>Where does the white go when the snow melts?
>>
>>Thanks,
