Bare shafting flight arrows

<< < (4/7) > >>

willie:
does that oceanspray tip weigh much?
what are you using for a backstop? waiting for the snow to melt is getting old here

DC:
I think it was 8 grains an inch more than the bamboo if that tells you anything. I use a box full of plastic bags in the shop and a Bulldog target outside.

Selfbowman:
How long is your arrow? Arvin

DC:
28" here's a pic of the tip. I heat treated it.

avcase:
It looks like the tip burned up a bit upon re-entry into the atmosphere!  Haha!

This kind of tuning does require some amount of trial and error. The minimum spine requirements are effected by the archer’s shooting and release. One archer may get clean Flight with a 30# spine arrow out of a 50# bow, and a different archer may get the opposite results.
