Title: A bit of spine help....
Post by: Stonedog on April 13, 2009, 10:37:15 am

All-

Need a bit of help choosing spine!

I shoot a self bow that pulls 60# at my 24" draw.

The handle is 1" wide.

I make my arrows for a 28" draw (I like the extra length).

I shoot 125 grain heads and plan on shooting either laminated birch or ash shafts this year....

What spine do you think would work best?

Probably 45/50's and leave them long,about 28. :)

You could go with the 50/55# if you use a rear nock taper. Sand the higher spined shafts down to the lower spines for a closer matched set. It would be handy to have some 145gr points on hand to lower spine if needed. You'll have no problem with increasing spine with your short draw (my length also). Keep your arrows  at that 28" bop also.
