Arrow tuning?

stuckinthemud:
Really helpful, thank you.

Pat B:
I learned this from Art Butner(artcher1). Art is the best arrow maker I know and especially for cane and shoot arrows but he understands the dynamics of arrows whether he hand planes shafts of collects them from the woods. The basic info is the same for any of them.

Pat, this is an interesting answer.  I find that with bows above 45 pounds a reduction of 10 pounds for a primitive style (no shelf) bow is a good thing.  But below 40 pounds, I find that 5 pounds is more appropriate, but then again, I am using bamboo.  I wonder what the others have seen with other woods?
Interesting question!!
Thanks
