Arrows spine from grains?
« on: August 16, 2015, 10:35:21 am »
I have some Easton blemishes that I'm not 100% on spine. They're too heavy for the bow I need arrows for. Great groups about a foot left. Once I get home I can see what the gpi is and post. Was wondering if someone could tell me what spine they are and then I could maybe get some broad head adapters to adjust to desired spine?

Do they already have inserts glued in? If so, increasing point weight may be easiest.

we still need to know the spine- when you say "500 grains", is that a measured weight, i.e. did you weigh them on a scale? Or does it say "500" on the shaft? tell us everything it says on the shaft.
shafts are usually marked with two numbers:
GPI tells you how much the shaft weighs per inch, this is the shaft alone. it has nothing to do with stiffness.
The other number is stiffness- usually says "500" or .500 or something like that

All it says is gold tip blemishes 3555, I looked them up and it said they're 500 grains. They are 32" long. It's not even on the arrow chart on the box. Lol

So I found they are 8.6 grains per inch. Does that help? So the arrow should weigh 275.2 grains? What spine is that?

Why do they go to the left then? Shouldn't they go right?

From a center shot bow? Good question. Do they shoot well from anything else?
