Here is a drawing of how the arrow shafts will be connected to create the length needed to reach the cage ring. Very simple design of just creating a spacer and adding it to a piece of all-thread and securing it with loctite. Each shaft will be aprox. 20" long. I need to build one up to see how much flex there is. Hopefully none. If there is some I may have to considering adding a ring to the center of the trusses. This will add an extra assmebly point and a bit more construction time. I had thought about using larger carbonfiber trusses but that will require the creation of inserts or mounting clamps of some sort unlike the premade arrowshaft parts.... Let me know what you guys think.
