I've come to the conclusion...

<< < (3/3)

mullet:
 I actually got that information from Chris Cade.He made a set of boo arrows that were flying everywhere even though they were splined the same.Then Art told him about the stiff side.I've used that tid bit since then and own quite a few of Art's arrows and Cades and they all fly like darts.

Mike_A:
Can someone explain how to find the stiff side? Or is it as easy as get the spine for all four sides and take the strongest? One more question when you spine and find the highest spine the stiff side will be on the side of the arrow that is under tension right? Hope this makes sense to ya'll. Thanks a bunch. Mike

George Tsoukalas:
This is for shoot arrows only. I put it in the spine tester. Get the reading. Rotate it 1/4 turn and then Get the reading again. When I cut the nock I do it at right angles to the stiffest spine. Jawge

mullet:
  Mike,On the Boo or cane shafts; I'll leave it about 35".Put the tip of one end against,say a coffee table.And the other end on the floor. Put some slight pressure in the center,rolling it with your palm.When you roll to the stiff side ,it will spin or flip real quick in your hand.If you zero in on the spot ,you can mark it with a Sharpie and then orient your nocks and then have a starting point for your feathers. I hope this makes sense?If not,I heard you could put them in water and the side floating down was the stiff side.Never tried it,I didn't want to get 'boo any wetter.

Mike_A:
Thanks Jawge and Eddie that helps make it a lot clearer. Mike
