Shaft spine reduction ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pat B:
 :OK

DC:
Something to keep in the back of your mind. I was spining some arrows like that and found that spinning them in the drill with sandpaper heated the shafts enough so that when you hung the spining weight on them they took a bit of permanent bend. Mine were down in the 40# range so they bent a lot easier so it may not be an issue for you.

Little John:
Thanks DC I will be sure not to get them too hot or at least let them cool.

I mentioned this before and Pappy suggested that I scrape them rather than sand. It works well.

Pappy:
As DC said I usually scrape mine and may sand just a bit to smooth things out once I get them like I want them. Love making heavy arrow into something I can use, just takes time but with a little practice and patients you can get a matches set of arrows every time. Good luck with yours Kenneth. :)
