Sounds interesting, no, how do you check for the strong side?
Wondering if you guys sand these down or keep the natural outer layer on them, these look like they need to be cleamed up
mullet:
;D If you don't know how to find the stiff side, you need to or you will make a bunch of crazy flying arrows.
You can take a shaft and lean one end on a coffee table and the other on the floor. Apply pressure with the palm of your hand in the center of the shaft. Just enough to bow the shaft a little. Now roll your palm and shaft slowly. When you hit the stiff side it will flip real quick. Mark this spot where it flips and cut your nocks so this side is against your bow.
mullet:
And, you can sand them down till they look like a carbon shaft.
Looks like we were both typing at the same time.
NTD:
On the sanding until they look like a carbon shaft....Are their signs that you might be sanding too much? i.e how do you know how much can you thin a shaft before you hurt it's integrity. Sorry if I'm Hijacking Zen'....

I have sanded the Nodes completely off....Mine are Painted with Flat Black Krylon....and from a couple foot away....they look just like a Store Bought Carbon Arrow! I have only broke one....and that was because I heated it too much while bending it.... :-[
