Cane Arrow Question

[Drewster]

When I build wooden arrows, I always turn the stiffest side of the spine so it is against the bow.  I'm trying to build a matched set of six cane arrows.  Will it cause any problem to orient the nock in a direction to make the spines match the best in all the shafts........whether or not it's the stiffest side?

Thanks for you help.  I'm trying to get a good set to shoot with some of my self bows.

Drew, normally, with cane arrows the nodes should be in/out and not up/down and one of those node sides will be stiffer than the other. That stiffest side will go against the bow.

Cane arrows are generally pretty forgiving when it comes to spine, they usually shoot well from a broader range of draw weights compared to other wooden arrows.  I would be more concerned with aligning that stiff side against the bow rather than getting them all the same spine.
