when to spine rivercane shafts ?
Aaron H:
10 grains per pound of draw weight is the general rule of thumb for hunting arrows. This will give you good penetration if you do your part in getting the arrow where you want it. So for your 48# bow, you are looking for somewhere in the area of 480 grains +/- 50 grains or so.
S.C. hunter:
Thanks Aaron, I think I am ready.
I hope all you guys have a great hunting season.

Yep, though spineing unstraightened cane is often an adventure.

It's pretty easy with my spine tester

Sorry, do you have any pictures? I have one half built.. I think being able to spine shafts before straightening could save me a lot of trouble. do you notice too much of a difference in spine before/after straightening?
