    I tried two ways and they both work. Keep in mind this it for the end of the footing away from the broadhead.

    I used a small cord less dremil, I don't recall the exact bit but there are several that will work. I put the dremil in a vice, then I rotated the footing and made the bevel.
    This worked well enough. Then I got smart and realized reloading reamer would work even better....ya I am slow sometimes.

    Do you need footings for an arrow like an FMJ?

    Need? No. You can just use the HIT c inserts and broadhead adapter rings if required. However your will wish you had an when you slam one into something you shouldn't have ...you will be wishing you has a footing rather then a now useless arrow...

    When I was reading this thread it got me thinking how I could make some footings for my arrows. I shoot Carbon express arrows and they come with bulldog nock collars on the end, but I take them off when I put on lighted nocks. So I took one and put it on the other end then screwed my broadhead in and it seems to work just like a footing. It was a really snug fit, had to put some force down on work bench to get it to seat. Has anybody else tried this?
