Got all the components and step by step instructions from Boo.
Squared each end then used 30-06 wire brush for the inside. Cleaned each end 3 times with acetone and wiped clean with paper towel. Sanded bras end with emery cloth and dipped and wiped clean with paper towel. Then glued inserts in and put plastic nocks in. Then the blazer vanes with a Arizona EZ-fletcher bolt. If nothing else it built my comfedece level up a notch. I found it pretty easygoing after the first couple. Next step is to test in my new Micro suppessor. Dale

Re: My first attempt at making arrows
Thats great Dale! You might know but I'll say it just in case. Give the glue 24 hrs before shooting the arrows. Cyanoacrylate glues take about 24 hrs to fully cure and low humidity can lengthen cure times.

Congrats!
It IS rewarding and engaging making your own arrows and tinkering with your own equipment.
One of the things that makes the Excalibur bows stand out, you can work on them and accessorize extensively.
Have fun!!
