Yep, I made one up at 33" to see what would happen. Windage and elevation were good, so now I may put some fletch on it to see what happens.

also...you can foreshaft the boo and it will bring the spine down......you might want to spine the other side of it ..also changes...just roll the arrow over 180 and spine there....I personally foreshaft all my cane....so I spine it at 70 and after foreshafting it drops to 55 to 60...gut

I don't worry about the spine of my cane arrows so much since I make my own trade points out of weld steel.  I keep a variety of weights anywhere from 100 grains to 250....  I tie them on to oak foreshafts so I can change them out until I find the right combination.  I don't glue and wrap the foreshaft in until I see good arrow flight.  We have a lot of cane in Alabama...  so much that I can't call it "boo".
