Carbon fiber arrow for lanyard tube?

[Justin Presson]

I have a few busted carbon fiber arrow shafts...they broke due to shooting a deer ....Any reason not to use them on knives?

Here is a pic of one next to some 1/4" carbon fiber tubes I got from boss.

Just measure the outside diameter and buy a numbered drill bit one letter larger is what I do. Others get the exact letter size. I like to give a little room for the epoxy and expansion and contraction of woods.

Also wear your mask and clean up after yourself. You don't want to start building up deposits of Carbon fiber etc in your lungs.

Nice thanks guys. I have a few and I know some of my buddys do to.

It works great. I've done it for a while now. Might as well use them. They aren't good for anything busted up.

I use either my port a band saw or a dremel with a cutoff wheel to cut them. Depends on which is closer to me at the time.

I was amazed how thin walled the first couple were.With the band saw off I spun the arrow against the blade with light pressure took like 4 turns to cut it.I was hoping I had some thicker ones in the pile.
