That doesn’t look like any wood shaft footing I’ve ever seen. Looks suspiciously like a piece of wood that has been drilled out to fit onto a taper, like how the woody weights work.
A real footing looks like how a pool que is made where the woods are spliced together. Typically a wood arrow footing has about 4 inches of splice.
A footing is wasted on hardwood shafts in my opinion. The shaft is already as strong as it’s going to get, and you won’t be adding any weight to the front to move the FOC, so what’s the point?
