So, I ordered a bow today. And I bought six arrows from Pacific Archery to start off with.

I have been told that I need to tip my arrows with open cell foam and that Galaxy Foam will cut them into cylinders. But.......What other foam do I use? Velora? Camping foam? I doubt it's camping foam. How much foam should I get? Anything specific I should ask of the people at Galaxy foam?

Does anyone have any tips on the how to's? I've been told it should be capped with a penny to. How about just general how to guideline? I can read well.

I'll be going to Galaxy Foam this week and I was hoping for some pointers and advice before I do since that is this weeks project. Also, dap or spray adhesive? What works best? Yes, I know I can find plenty of Dag How To's on the internet, but I'd rather ask our resident archers what they think.

Cheers.

p.s. If this has already been asked and there is a thread for it that I'm overlooking - Go ahead and redirect me.

Phoxly and Smithy are the guys to talk to. I think they have made their own arrows, and I know Smithy is like on a first name basis with the folks at Galaxy foam.

Just bring the arrows and the cloth you want to cover them with. I have glue and materials for the rest.
