Hawkdancer:
If you have a dial caliper, you can make a spine tester.  Pm me your address and I will send you a base, stand and cross beam.  You will need a 2 lb weight with a hook, and a clamp to attach the caliper.  I will include free instructions  :)>:D!  You get to put a finish on the wood.

Using this Hickory board bow I made last year. 43# @ 26", and I usually draw to 27".

Thanks HawkDancer. I have a 2lb weight ready. I'll PM you my email

Pat B:
You could probably start with 35# spined arrows or longer arrows with heavier spine.

--- Quote ---Both arrows were bare shaft tested to fly very straight, but Arrow 2 loses much of its speed and falls a foot over 15 yards compared to Arrow 1.

Should I try trimming the turkey feathers down closer to the shaft? I shoot 15-25 yards when I practice.

I agree with aaron that trimming may help.  the better an arrow flies bare shaft, the less feathers may be required.

if you are feeling experimental, trim a bit and shoot a bit until you are back to bareshaft, just to see what happens.
