Spine max/min
DC:
I shoot bamboo arrows and I find there is a fairly wide range of spines where the arrow will fly nicely. Would there be any advantage to shooting either the stiffest or most flexible in that range?
Pat B:
I don't know if it matters but I think a stiffer arrow would be better as long as it is spined correctly.
DC:
I guess a stiffer arrow would "straighten up and fly right" faster than a limp one. And I agree, it probably doesn't matter, especially when when your shooting is as inconsistent as mine. It's just one of those niggley questions that pop up.

haha same
Well, weak spine arrows are usually lighter, so if you want speed... as long as they don't somehow waste more energy from extra bending..
DC:
I find that shooting low spine arrows through the chrono gives less than optimal results. I get way more errors and misreads. By low spine I mean low for the bow. Wobbly arrows trigger weird results.
