WHAT IS ARROW SPLINE+HOW 2 CHECK IT

<< < (2/3) > >>

Traxx:
Actually,SPLINE is a proper term for archery,its just not what you were useing it for.Spline is the reinforcement slice, of another material, in the nock end of an arrow.

Tom Leemans:
I just built a spine tester last night ala Jim Hill (with a dial indicator). Now I was checking tonkin cane shafts and some were spining out at 105#, but I'll treat it like I do a chronograph. (If it shoots good, who cares?) It will be a handy tool though for finding the stiff side of the shaft and grouping batches of shafts in 5# increments. I just marked the deflection value on each shaft. I will also weigh each shaft and mark the weight of each shaft in grains. I'm going to bare shaft them through my bows anyway though. Each bow will have a tube of shafts that fly good out of that bow.

Pat B:
Tom, on cane shafts you can subtract 10# of spine weight for the natural taper and another 5# for each inch over 28" arrow. Most folks make their cane arrows long anyway and they fly well at different draw weights. I cut my cane arrows 29" to 30" for my 26" draw and others as long as 34" or so.
