Arrow shafts
« on: October 19, 2007, 01:14:06 am »
I'm in a pickle, I have never spined my arrow shafts thus far, but I need to make some arrows for someone else, and they need to be a certain spine weight. I was wondering if someone out there could help me by sending me three spined arrow shafts, different weights with the spine weight written on them. I'm willing to trade, but we would have to talk about what would be best for both of us.
Thanks in advance,

Should this even go here, or should it go in the trading section, I'm not sure.....moderators, feel free to move it if you think so (though I know you would feel free whether I told you or not, lol. ;))

Why dont you build yourself a spine tester?  There are plans for simple yet accurate spine testers out there from an old PA magazine. I have built and used the one made of two protracters with great success.

Doesn't that use a circular protractor? I can't find one, but where would the plans for that be?

You can use two regular protracters taped together.  Thats what the guy who wrote the tutorial did and that is what I did as well.  It is over on the tradgang site ...poekelon wrote it.

in fact here is the link to the buildalong:

hope it helps

Hi,
Are you making your own shafts? If not, just buy some spined shafts from a wooden shaft maker.
