Bare shaft tuning: Your thoughts, please
bradsmith2010:
I have found,,.if extremely over spined,,or under spined.,,it might not fit the chart
Lefty38-55:
This chart too, for a selfbow (on right), says you are over-spined. This chart is for a Dacron string, add 5-pounds to arrow spine if using a FastFlight string.
You say it is a 29”, but have you confirmed your bow weight at whatever your draw length is?
Lefty38-55:
Here’s the chart, as I could not get both pictures in the same post for some reason.

Whew, got home from work today and heard water spraying in the crawlspace. Went down and found it was coming out of the control switch/pressure gauge that leads to my pressure tank. I popped off the cap to try to see what was happening, saw a bunch of bare wires, and felt the tiniest little zap in my fingers...as I'm kneeling in a big puddle of water. I'm no contractor, but even I know that ain't good.
Well, a few hours and a whole lot of help from my buddy Gerald (who is a contractor) later, the hole is patched up with JB weld and silicone. It should cure overnight, and in the morning I get to see whether it worked. Should hold together until the plumber can show up and fix it for real. Mrs. Badger and the Badgerling are camping out at Grandma and Grandpa's--something about needing toilets and showers. Gerald and I sat around for a couple hours after our redneck engineering job, eating ribs and swapping hunting stories. Could be worse.
So, now back to this. Lefty, that arrow angle chart makes sense to me. My bow is pretty wide at the handle so that might call for lighter that the chart says. Either way, the test kit (coming Friday!) covers the likely spines, so I think I'll be good.
For what it's worth, I'm shooting a dacron string. My draw length is 27.5". I don't have a way to confirm the draw weight of my bow. Curt said it should settle into 60# @ 28".
