On about 3 of my white fiber glass arrows the hole where the slide stop screws into have wallowed out. I lost one arrow yesterday.Do I drill another hole (if so what size). Thought someone has had this issue before.All help is appreciated.

Yea i just drilled another hole but i couldnt tell you the drill bit size id get an arrow that hasnt done this yet and find the drill bit that fits snug and use it

1/8 inch hole. Put it about 1/2 inch down the shaft and 90 degrees from the other hole

90 degrees from the original hole would make the slide stopper on the side of the arrow instead of facing up and away from the rest, do the hole on the same side of the arrow as the old one

or you could just tie to the back and not worry about the slides!

Make sure your tying to the back with a spinner and never a retriever

Won't that clock the nock off 90*? I'd just move the 1/2" and drill it.

Or you could cut off the point, drill it out with a 5/16th bit and put it on a new 3 dollar arrow.

Have to put new nock on also,sorry

have used super epoxy fill the hole put some on the threads shove or screw in if some threads left let setup works a lot of the time but have lost arrow too.

Should It be moved towards the Nock or the point??

I did that back in high school never had a problem, wouldn't recommend it I just got lucky, but would do it again if I had to

Thanks for the help everyone. I can always depend on the BFC.I will be drilling my holes today and I'm going to fill old holes with epoxy.

If you drill holes and rotate 90 just twist or add a new nock. I myself have been bowfishing way before safety slides and still tie to the back. I run my string through and make a knot so the string free floats. Never ever been an issue and I shoot my share of fish.
