yet again, i need tips.
huntertrapper:
yeah sorry i cant explain what i thought, yeah i understand the spine of the arrow for a selfbow having to "wrap" around the bow and a center cut bow is less touchy about spine.
recurve shooter:
im going to order some lighter spined, feather fletched arrows. think it will do the trick.

If your bow is 45#@28" and you draw to 30 you are probably around 50#. Arrow spine is measured for a 28" shaft and every inch over that you can subtract about 5# of spine. For a long bow you want about 10# under the draw weight. You want a 31" arrow. I would order arrows about 50-55# spine. The extra length will make them shoot like 40# spine. If they are a little stiff you can always sand a little toward the back of the arrow which will decrease the spine a little. Justin
recurve shooter:
