I got a few thousand a while ago and the measured spines were quite far off the mark and I do wish they wouldn't sand the nodes so far. Most are good but the odd one broke at the nodes when final straightening because they were too aggressively reduced.

Sorry for the late reply. No, I used to get my shafts from Tiger. Those are the mediocre shafts I talk about. he isn't the only one. I get mine from a very hard to find company who sells their shafts mainly in Japan. They harvest their own bamboo shafts which have been transplanted to another growing region with excellent results. Tigers are fatter shafts, and they begin to shred apart when I bevel them for a nock or a point. They are not as dense. When they are harvested appears to make a big difference. There is more to the story, but I'm still having coffee to wake up...Merry Christmas to all. The message of Peace and Goodwill could use a little more promotion for us all.

you would lose FOC %, and also negatively effect flight characteristics.
i think a nail might be excessive, when fine tuning arrows, just the mass of the fletching or a vinyl cap wrap can make a significant difference.

I would love to meet some of you guys at OJAM and compare notes and see what you are shooting. They have me scheduled to teach a seminar, but I would love to shoot some of your arrows. by the way, I have been told to bring shafts to sell. Who has been to OJAM...Is this a good idea? Thanks to all.

I think you'll see more guys at the MOJAM than the OJAM IMO. I at least dont hear as much about the OJAM than the MOJAM.

Almost too many folks at OJAM last time I was there. Great place to learn though.
