Arrow length to spine?

(1/3) > >>

stringstretcher:
How many of you, shoot different length arrows because of spine?  What I am asking is if you have say some POC shafts that are shooting great for you at a certain length and spine, how many of you would take a different arrow material that is not spined the same and make it shorter or longer to make the shoot the way you want them.  Just courious I guess?

George Tsoukalas:
Not usually but I have done it once in awhile particularly with shoot shafts. I'm more likely to change points. Jawge

I cut all my cane shafts the same length I had been straightening  them and then fletch and shoot them. The ones that didn't fly good I just sat off in the corner. Now I have a spine tester and spine them. The ones that spine to the poundage I fletch and shoot, but they are all still the same length. The ones that don't spine for me, I set them in groups of what they spine at. Don't know what I'll do with them :-\  Sorry for the long story :D

Charlie I cut all my shafting, cane or hardwood shoots, to 29" or 30" for my 26" draw. I try to pick out similar shafts for my set but I don't weigh or spine any(except to find the stiff side) of my shafts until I finish the arrow. Generally they come in within 50grs and at 20 yards it doesn't really matter that much to me. I can still put one in the engine room from the ground or elevated stand...if I could ever get a chance!  ::)
   The natural taper of cane and hardwood shoots is very forgiving and the extra weight forward of these shafts pulls the arrow to where you are looking.
