THIS ROOKIE NEEDS INFO. ON ARROW SPLINE, HOW TO CHECK IT SO THE KIDS I'M TEACHING DON'T GET HURT, I'M NEW TO ARCHERY SO  SAFETY 1ST,  THANKS

Justin Snyder:
I believe the word you are looking for is spine. It is the stiffness of the arrow. Higher spine means a stiffer arrow. Arrows bend around the bow when they are shot, this is referred to as archers paradox. If an arrow is too stiff it won't bend around the bow and will hit off to the side. If it is too weak, it will hit the opposite direction. I hear they can even break although I have never seen this from an undamaged arrow.  It has to be measured with a spine tester.

Justin Snyder:
Search for spine and you will find all the reading material you need.
Here are a good one.
