Another way is to sand the end of the shat before you put on the nock or point, you will see fine lines of the grain, if you were slf nocking the arrows (eg cutting a slot in the end) you would want the slot going across those lines to minimise the risk of splitting...I dunno about the spine issue IMHO you'd need to be a superb shot or have a very fussy bow to notice the differnce, but I'm quite happy to be wrong about this...
