Red osier arrows
juniper junkie:
red ozier seems kinda weak, but that is when it is green, what spines are you getting from these shafts?
stringstretcher:
I can measure them for dia and spine them after I get them and let you know. This is my first time working with them...so we will see.

they seem weak when green lke ya said,however once they are dried they are much stiffer.after a year or so of seasoning they are even better
i dont hunt with them,only cause stone is illegal here. and all my primitive style arrows get stone on the end.most i make are for the wall.when i make one for hunting they get store bought metal broad heads.
but i do target shoot them and shoot at the wood fence.after 4-5 shots in the fence the split once and awhile.
as far as spine goes idont spine with any thing.i shoot naked shafts and what shoots good thru my bow thats what i make into arrows for target shooting
what doesnt shoot good becomes my wall ornaments
juniper junkie:
ya may want to check out the spine tester grunt just posted, could help you group your shafts. :)

i love his spine tester,but like i said
i just shoot them and see what flies the best
i keep my primitive,primitive ;)
