That’s a good description of Arvin. I just glad it wasn’t because he couldn’t figure out how to share the link.
Honestly I don’t know how to. Where do I find the link?

Thanks Burnsie. I’m in the thumb of Michigan. Dave is kinda on the way to Arvin’s for me. I actually took three days traveling to Arvins
I stopped by Bob Barnes in Arkansas to.
Was a good trip. On the way home we stopped in Clarksville to see a high school buddy of mine and meet up with pappy. I was there for the blizzard of 25. Really enjoyed our trip.
Thanks pappy. I would say it shouldn’t take long to finish it up, but I tend to shoot them awhile before I finish them.

Aren't Dave and Arvin in opposite directions MO & PA? That must have been a nice trip.
That is going to be a cool little bow.

Arrows / Re: arrow spine
« Last post by Badger on December 01, 2025, 05:02:31 pm » Spine is extremely important in any kind of bow or even an atlatl. It might be arguable as to how far off you can be and still maintain a decent pattern. The closer to center cut your bow is the stiffer the spine it will tolerate. I like to stay within about 5# spine of what I find works best. There are a lot of articles on line about tuning and finding the correct spine. Well worth your time if you plan to stay in archery.
