Internal Point Weight and Footing Jig-EFOC Jig
The EFOC jig is a simple and easy way to introduce a significant amount of weight into the point end of the arrow.
The EFOC jig is designed to accommodate slight differences in arrow diameter due to moisture content or oversize shafting. It is always best to use the jig that corresponds to your arrow size. The jig will also accept arrows that have been finished or point tapered. If you have tapered the point do not push the drill bit, let it do the work and go slowly.
To use the EFOC Jig, insert the point end of the arrow into the jig. Hold the shaft in place with your hand or by resting the nock end of the arrow against something. Using the supplied drill bit and your cordless drill, insert the bit into the small hole in the jig. Slowly drill into the point end of the arrow shaft backing the bit out occasionally to clear the hole out. Continue until the desired depth is reached. Insert and glue the 1/8" diameter rod of your choice, lead fishing wire, brass, nails, or tungsten. Tungsten is the heaviest followed by lead. You may also choose to purchase a longer drill bit to increase the depth of the hole, the procedure remains the same as with the supplied drill bit.
Please email me with any questions.
Please note I do not sell the jigs, I leave that to the various sponsors.
