    apart from the writing printed at one end does it make a difference which way around you bulid an arrow?

    i'm sure for decent ones it does but what abouot for crappy alminium ones?
    (just want to be different)

    Well the uni bushing is usually installed at one end for most of the easton arrows, but if there's no bushing and the components fit snuggly I can't see a problem.
    But with any of the barrelled shafts (such as the a/c/e and x10) you should never ever turn them around or cut from the back because you can feck up an arrow that costs a fortune.
    Basically if its a 'parallel' shaft and there's no insert then you should be fine I think*.



    *but dont blame me if anything goes wrong :o

    You can ask her at the IV tomorrow, but I think I remember Karen from NUIG trying that (not on purpose!) with XX75s and the arrows were botched. Had a problem getting the points in I think and the bushings were impossible to get out from the wrong end.:confused:
