Yes, i use a Bearpaw jig, with cascamite glue. Takes a bit of practice to get the alignment right, but works well. I use opened out rubber bands to bind the repair area, as shown to me by Chris Boyton. He does his by eye (no jig) but i aint that good

I would like some recommendations on shaft materials to build some stumping arrows or a supplier of 100grn rubber blunts.
I went out today for a few hours to clear my head and had a great time just wandering around and shooting at stumps, branches and the like but I managed to break 2 shafts in the same place running from the leading edge of the fletchings down the shaft around 6 inch.
The shafts are pine, 5/16th 40-45# 4" parabolic feathers 150grn rubber blunts and cut to 27" lobbed from a 45# recurve.
Cheers

You are almost always going to break some, but i shoot NFAS Primitive class and find that bamboo seem the toughest. I use shafts from Mark Hill (mahill on that sales site). They are well matched, straight, smooth and need hardly any finishing. Rubber blunts are available from most of the usual suppliers, Quicks, Merlin et al.
Hi ozzy, it's a catch 22 really. The carbon or ally arrows I gave you normally will not snap, but the ends can come off in whatever you are shooting into, or have the ends push into the shafts mucking them up. Where wooden shafts can have a bit of bend to them they can still snap if the angle is to much. Bamboo are good I have a few that have cracked all up the shaft but a bit of tape and they are still bouncing off trees.
Ozzy the Carbons are 150 and the Ally are 500. Took some finding but found the two I didn't take the information off. Hope it helps.
Spent an hour up the club this morning stumping, used some old aluminium arrows and rubber bludgeon heads off ebay and found it really relaxing and focuses the mind a lot better than just shooting at a target. Having the freedom to wander, see a stump and take the shot is highly recomended
Would have been longer but the timber is being extracted by belligerent morons.

Stumping has to be one of the most enjoyable non hunting archery things to do, even better if there is two of you.
I have not added up my score yet...lol but it was fun one arrow at each Target.. sort of focussed you ..... I was with a new member on her first shoot.. and in a way its was a shame it was not the three as she only had one go not the Three per target as a normal shoot
