Spine wt. on arrows

<< < (3/3)

roofus:
I just found an arrow that works right with my bow than spine tested it and spine my shafts to that.
Here is a picture of my tester. It is ugly, very ugly but very simple and it works.
I shoot 28" arrows so I built it on the 26" span rule with a 2# weight.

The supports are 26" but the readings are translated automatically for you for 28 inches back of point so that's really 28.75ish inches. It is confusing but it shouldn't be to us primitive types. Not because we have superior intellects but because most of us make our own shafts and a little judicious sanding in the middle can do wonders for arrow tuning. :) Jawge

ok people,

  i have yet to make an arrow spine tester and i have every intintion to make one soon, soo with that being said i know im going to have a boot full of questions later...  but for know i jsut wanted to ask this one..???   

   if im making arrows out of pine wood drilled through a dowel cutter and then compressed through a heat compression block... would i then start to cut to the desired lenght and then start to spine??? AND separate by wieght???    ok?? here is my real question... once i get my jigs and sytem all set up i know im going to want to do up some real nice arrow sets... but if im crest dipping and lacquer coating wouldnt this effect the spine also.. lets say i do the common 3 dips of lacquer would i have to re check the spine again after the lacquer dries up or will the spine test not be affected by the clear coat...

and if it is when would you spine and separtate???  after the coats of clear i would want to waste clear coats especially if im going to be sanding in the middle to get the arrows even???
any help or experaince here???????????

thanks...
