Compressing Shafts.
agd68:
I seen a tool while cruising 3Rivers . It was a arrow shaft compresser. Apparently you run an 11/32 shaft in one end and it comes out a 5/16 on the other. What does this do for a shaft besides making it thinner ?
ken75:
it stiffens the arrow increasing spine. if i remember correctly
Cacatch:
Yes, what Ken said. I would think it might be a reasonable investment. In my opinion, smaller diameter, shafts are better if you can maintain the same weight. This is why carbon shafts are so thin. To let the arrowhead be wide if you want, but to keep the shafts thin and still have some weight to them.

Reducing diameter reduces spine. ART

I may be wrong...but I disagree...if you are taking the larger Diameter Shaft...and compressing the Fibers down to a smaller Diameter...hense tightening the Grain...this should increase the Arrows Spine,,,,not decrease it.... like sanding or trimming it to reduce Diameter....JMO
