Thanks Rob!
BowEd:
I've made quite a few spruce arrows before.+ or - 15 grains on a set of twelve arrows I think is pretty darn good self made.Like you said good enough!!!
Hawkdancer:
I use a digital powder scale to weigh shafts and finished arrows, and my home made spine tester with my spare caliper, and the spinning chart. Got to get busy on arrows again, too - I'll need a set for the hickory bow, and one for the arrow trade, and a set for my landowner friend.

"bur" if I can add a little help in "useablity". I know this is not a word but I like to make arrows that is usable and DURABLE. Wrap the front of the fletching with some thread and it will help to eliminate issues with shooting off a shelf. also wrap below the nock to keep the nock from splitting out. Notice the small details of the arrows I post. it is not for looks its for functionality.....all of those details are for a reason. :)
