Points, inserts, nocks and fletching

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page11
Steel points in a damp garage corrode. Which is a closure question.

Field points

Steel, threaded, sorted by grain weight. Heavy for their size, so a jar of them is heavier than it looks and a thin container will not hold.

And they rust

A garage or a basement is damp, and steel points left in an unlined jar through a winter come out spotted. 9 liners and sealing discs here are the fix.

Inserts

Aluminium or stainless, sorted by shaft inside diameter in thousandths. Light, small, and easy to lose in the bottom of a wrong container.

They also must stay clean to glue

An insert that has picked up wax, oil or dust will not bond reliably. Sealed storage is a performance requirement rather than tidiness.

Nocks

Plastic, in incompatible systems and sizes within them. Light enough to be blown off a bench, small enough to vanish, and brittle in cold.

Fletching

Vanes or feathers, sorted by length and profile. The one leaf that is crushed rather than lost, so it wants a container that holds shape rather than one that seals.

Feather fletching has a storage requirement vanes do not

It takes up moisture and flattens. Our fly tying property covers feather behaviour in more detail and the same logic applies.

Three of the four are heavy for their size

Which argues for smaller jars than instinct suggests. A full 250 mL jar of steel points is a jar that cracks when dropped.

And all four get handled with waxy fingers

Bow wax, fletching glue and hand oil. A label that smears is a label that is gone, and a printed label beats a marker here.

The archetype is right about every one of them

Wide mouth, clear, small, dry. 227 jars on this shelf and the craft wanted jars.

References

The archetype behind this shelf is store-small-dry: 15 to 500 mL, wide mouth, PP and PET and glass, cold, solid, chunky, scooped, with "small dry parts, wide mouth to get fingers in, clear so you can see what is inside" as its stated reason. Four of the five leaves are small dry parts and the shelf is 227 jars against 27 bottles, which is the closest archetype-to-shelf match in this library.
The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. The archery shelf is 647 rows: 277 containers and 370 closures. 5 mL to 500 mL with a median of 118; 30 containers at 15 mL or under, 45 at 30 or under, 86 at 60 or under, 142 at 120 or under. 117 PET, 87 PP, 64 glass, 9 steel. 227 jars, 27 bottles, 12 tubs and pails, 9 tins, 2 tubes. 96 clear, 51 white, 33 amber, 28 natural, 27 black. Closures: 297 continuous thread, 27 dome lids, 18 lug and twist, 9 liners and sealing discs, 6 round tubs, 5 phenolic, 5 specialty. Necks: 56 at 89-400, 56 at 70-400, 36 at 58-400, 16 at 53-400.
Written from 26 U.S.C. 4161(b) and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. No tax rates, percentages or thresholds appear here: they are in the statute and its regulations, they change, and a container catalog quoting them would be wrong within a year. Whether assembling arrows makes somebody a manufacturer for excise purposes is a determination for a tax adviser. Hunting rules, broadhead requirements and draw weight minimums are state wildlife agency matters and are not addressed.
