foeshafting cane gives it a better foc and allows for a stiffer spined arrow ..Heavier.. cane is very light and tough.. I spine my cane at 65 to 70 at 25 inches and then foreshaft about 6 inches which brings my spine back down to 50 to 55lb bow... to me foreshafted cane is more spine tolerable and just flies better also...gut
