We're easily amused, and you seem to be on a quixotic self-appointed mission from the Almighty to correct our ignorance of arrow terminology by any means necessary, up to and including deadly force. :) You have a total of 66 posts on this forum, and it seems like 67 of them are connected to the "spline" thing. There's other things to talk about. Stick around awhile and you'll see that we love to poke a little fun at each other, it's nothing personal. Your observation that this is too trivial to keep rehashing is right on the money, it's just not that big of a deal. My arrows would fly pretty much the same no matter what I called the measure of their flexibility.

Thanks for the post,

Ignorance of arrow terminology?........... I see... So that's the rub.
Naturally, that is not my intention... Sorry, some took it that way.
I'm not trying to "change" anyone's use of the term Spine.
It's what you grew up with..... Spine is the current terminology....
Nobody is insisting on changing any vernacular to use..
I choose to use the "traditional" term, everybody else on the list uses the "modern" term. Both are correct usage.... I'm sure that we all know what we are talking about.
Hopefully we have buried this subject...
Take Care,
Steve

Being a merchant (and not an archer) used the term "sprine" to describe the "spring" of the arrow shaft when flexed. But since they had a hard time pronouncing the "r" in sprine, they called it "spline" and Marco Polo, being the wise negotiator, let it go.That's what I heard, anyway. ;)

No rub, just think that it's a silly thing to worry about so much and so seriously. Like I said, if Fred Bear and Jay Massey were happy with saying "spine," it's good enough for me, too.
