Joigning Arrow Shafts together& other Mod to make fish rod, Polespear, Hawaiian Sling
How could I join some arrow/bolt shafts together?
For example if I'd like to carry some lightweight adapters so that in the field I could use my Muzzy reel, reel seat and crossbow-fishing bolts to make a decent spin-cast fishing rod.
Or use the joined bolts to make a polespear (by attaching a rubber band at the end). Or as the pole in an Hawaiian sling setup.
The tip of a crossbow-fishing 22/64 bolt screws in the point via 1/4"-20 threads? what about 5/16 bowfishing arrows?
I guess one way to join 2 shafts together would be to permanently remove the nock of a bolt and permanently insert an aluminium adapter with threads, in which the point of another bolt could screw in. To use that bolt for crossbowfishing one would have to put a plastic nock at the end of the aluminium insert?
Or an adapter that screws in the 2nd bolt's point and at its other end have an open 22/64 cylinder in which to insert the nock and rear of the 1st bolt. To lock it in place use the little screw that keeps the safety ring on the bolt?
Or could I use detach bolts for all my crossbowfishing, even with smaller fish? then to join 2 shafts together simply remove the point of the 2nd bolt and insert both ends in a 22/64 cylinder adapter?
The setup should allow to return the bolts to their original use when needed
