Take-a-part spear shaft

[Bigbird99]

Hi, I have a 6ft wooden (ash) spear shaft that often travels with me so I need to be able to take it apart in, say, two 3 ft sections. Any ideas? I've thought about cutting it in half, drilling a hole in each end of the cut parts and glueing dowels there and then just attaching them together. Then I've have to use a screw to secure the two pieces (into the inner dowel). Any other way or any dowel attachment pieces I could use to make this easier? Thx for any help.
