Trouble with arrows
Pat B:
Sean, You can make a spine tested(with a dial indicater) very easily and for not much money or you can make one that just compares arrows with a known spine which is usually good enough for primitive arrows. 2 nails 26" apart will do the trick. Hang an arrow on the nails then hang a small weight and mark the deflection of the arrow. That will give you a mark to shoot for with other shafts. Pat

But I don't know the spine of any of my arrow shafts. I just guess.:P

1/2primitive:
Oh, a dial indicator? do you know where I can get the plans?

Sean scroll down to the topic "Spine Tester??", there are some in there. I made one with dial indicator its ok, cost me about $30
Ordered the dial indicator from Harbor Freight, rest of the stuff from the hardware store.

All right Dana, I got the plans to one of the spine testers on that topic, but it wasn't explained real well for a visual thinker like me. I don't know how to put it together. This is the one. http://www.geocities.com/archeryrob/pa_spine_tester.htm
