To make the fletches stay in place, I envisioned mounting a single piece of leather sticking out both sides in a slot cut into the bolt end, much as you would when inserting a horn reinforcement in a period arrow. I think something like a cap would be needed to make the bolt safe to shoot, given the force put on the end by the string.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Yours Aye,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lord Mungo Napier, The Archer of Mallard Lodge<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Read “The Tale of Mungo Napier”: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://people.virginia.edu/~ggg9y/napier1.html">http://people.virginia.edu/~ggg9y/napier1.html</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
