Do you have to “tiller” arrows?
Ryan Jacob:
Yes I’ve done all that already. I meant that there’s a hinge when I bent them.
Pat B:
Are they well seasoned? Any irregularity that can't be remedied become tomato stakes.If it does have a hinge it's not worth the risk of injury.
Ryan Jacob:
Yup, they were well seasoned. Although I got luckily unlucky. I was bending it a bit and it went kablooey.
Pat B:
Never take a chance with an iffy shaft. :OK
BowEd:
Ryan....With shoot shafts there is less length or shorter length to recover from paradox around a handle and the force of the string sending it away.The half to the nock does most of the bending.Opposed to parallel width length shafts where they will bend at the middle both ways.Quicker recovery.Sort of like a javeline.With more weight up front also a helping factor.Reason why shoot shafts don't look like they bend evenly.
Although a properly spined parallel shaft to the bow will fly just as well.That's my consesus on reasons why shoot shafts that are full length tapered are so forgiving.
Instead of calling it tillering shafts like bows the term spineing shafts is used.
I would like to see the slow motion comparison of 2 shafts shot.A full length tapered shoot shaft and a parallel width shaft.
