RE-Spined

(1/2) > >>

PK:
I thought since my port orford cedar were spined at 60 to 70 I would adjust the wieght to 40-50. had to scrape then sand and put the points back on.
could not change the leangth there already 29-30".
I tried something new to me with cresting, I used paint pens seemed to work well with the Cresting jig (drill and dowel with a hole for the point to rest in.
Got some others I still need to fletch, they are Black and yellow with gold pin stripe. gonna have Bone heads.

DanaM:
Phil if the spine is to heavy I usually just sand the center from in front of the fletch to
about 4" in front of the point. Nice arra's

Pat B:
The spine weight on most arrows is measured on a 28" arrow. Every inch over that you can reduce the spine weight by 5# so those arrows will have a spine weight of 50# to 60# at 29" to 30".   And as Dana said, you can further adjust them with some light sanding in their mid section. Having a few inches sticking beyond the back of the bow won't hurt anything.  Most of my arrows are 29" for my 26" draw.     Pat

ps. Nice looking arrows.  ;D

Justin Snyder:
You can also go from 125 grain points to 225 grain points to help decrease the spine.  Great looking arrows though.  Justin

PK:
Thanks Guys, It all started with the Spine tester BA, Getting the bow thing down, Now its figgerin the arrows.
So if the grain # is higher then the point is lighter or just the opposite?
 I work on the Boo arrows with Bone heads after finish up the rest of the cedars my friend gave me way back,Did not know about arrow theory back then.
you gus are so smart.
will show pics when done, Like to show off but ,like to see other peoples work More.
