now with most langauages the spelling of a word will differ over time
even the pronuciation may stay the say along with the the meaning
so are you sure that "spline" wasnt realy meant as "spine"
as for me i have always refered to it as spine and always will
started shooting bows before there wheels on them,so no i am not new to it
it has always been refered to as "spine" as long as i have been shooting bows and as long as my uncle,whom taught me to shoot bows,has been shooting them too
and hes pushing 70 yrs old now,so i would say spine has to be the correct term
there,that was my last few whacks at the horse.
now lets grill it and eat it ;D

It does appear that I'm beating a dead horse, but, it one of my pet peeves.
If you don't care, let it go....
Best Wishes,

We understand that you believe that is the correct word, and we would like to "let it go" but someone keeps bringing it back up.

The flexable rods that the Architects and Engineers used in the Middle Ages were called "Splines".
The testing of the stiffness of arrows is a direct application of their splining methods.
You will also find that "spline" is used in mathematics and enginering too.
I'm sure that spline is the proper term.
I started shooting archery back in 1951.... I'm an old duff too.
My last kicks at the horse too.
The common usage is "Spine" and I know what is really meant, so we can move on.
Best Wishes,
Steve

You must be typing in Braille. If you haven't noticed since you went on Vacation last time. Nobody Gives a Rat's @$$ how you think it should be spelled. 900, 999,996 people think it should be spelled SPINE. And you are the only one that think's maybe, some, Semi- Illiterate person in the Middleages, might be the only person that knows what he is talking about.
PM me and I'll tell you what my Pet Peeve is.
