Arrow spine

<< < (2/2)

wvarcher:
     Bowjunkie, thanks for the link.  draw Length is measured by knocking an arrow and then having someone else mark the shaft at the back of the bow.  I get 27.5" that way.  28.5" sounds about right if i measure from the nock throat to the field point tip.  I forgot to mention that i was using arrows with a 55lb spine.

BowJunkie:
Try tweaking the brace height first and see if it gets any better.
Keep me posted

Pat B:
28", 45# spined arrows should shoot well from your bow.  If you leave your arrows long you can reduce the effective spine weight by 5# per inch over 28"...so arrows spined at 55# but cut to 30" will have an effective spine of 45#.

wvarcher:

thanks guys.  dropping down to 45lb spined arrows seems to get me better flight.   my brace height is now at 6.5" inches instead of 6".
