[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1775301, member: 78569"] I've done the carbon arrow method with great success. Takes a bit of time to cut the stock such that the arrows are arraigned nicely. Then I used JB weld to pour in around them to set them up. Roughened the outside of the arrow shafts with sand paper for better bond. There was no torsional flex on the stock, period. However, it didn't do a whole long for bending towards the barrel (up and down direction) but this is to be expected since the weak point of the stock is at the lug and you can't do much strengthening at that location. My personal first choice now would be to use Grate Stuff foam. Loctite makes a high density foam like it as well. This should help out and be even lighter and more cost effective than the arrows or filling with epoxy. If its not good enough, its easy to remove and try another method. [/QUOTE]
