All about spine.
DanaM:
Thanks but I'm getting more confused LOL, dynamic spine vs static spine so spine in motion vs spine at rest. So what use is a spine meter other than a ballpark
estimate. Also wouldn't the shorter arrow have more dynamic spine(stiffer) than the longer shaft? I'm probably overcomplicating this just can't seem to wrap my brain around it.

yes. see, you got it. ;D
edit: this statement "let's say you would have left the arrow 29" long, it would still spine out at 45-50, but behave (in flight) like a 40-45 spined arrow" was related to your 28" arrow still spining out at 45-50.
DanaM:
Thanks Dustybaer yer a true gentleman.

Thanks again for the feathers Eddie. Going to have to make you up some nice cane arrows to repay you. Course, going to have to talk Pat out of some more of his shoots first. He grows the best you know! ;D
Pat, let's just say I'm doing somewhat OK. Thanks for asking.
Unless someone is going to building a spine tester it's best to forget about that number 26". That number is just for the end spacing on these testers and only makes things more confussing when discussing arrow spine. Perhaps the reasoning behind the 28" concept was to allow for extra paradox of the arrow for these around-the-handle bows. Anybody know for sure? Anyhow, starting your adjustment at 28" seems to work out just fine for these types of bow. -ART B
