would post pic but moved and am using different computer anyway i like knapping my own points but use carbon arrows and am in the process of figering out how to put them together. i’v made a wooden insert that comes out about 1 1/2” then was going to put a piece of tubing over the junction. am i out of my mind or if done properly would it work = large point + small shaft=less drag more penitration 😀

I think it would be a bad idea.
You know the old saying: “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link”… Well, adding wood to the front of a carbon arrow makes the arrow as weak as wood. You are trying to put wagon wheels on a corvette.
But you have hit upon the angst that plagues all us traditional hunters. How do we combine our desire to demonstrate skill with a bare bow, with our obligation to dispatch game as cleanly as possible? Wooden arrows necessitate greater skill. Carbon Arrows provide a sure kill. It is a conundrum.
Combining the two is a disaster that throws the conundrum into sharp relief.
My advice, humble it is… Is to leave the napped heads on wooden arrows (many adventures in optimizing design to be had there) and put some good heavy single bevel heads on those carbon shafts.
