Birch Dowels

<< < (2/2)

david w.:
if you want to shoot accurately at anything you should try to match your arrow spine to your bow.  if you made sure your arrows were properly spined i be your accuracy would go up.  in fact i am going to build a spine tester and start on some shaft Pat B sent me because i dont have any properly matched arrows.
just tryin to help :)

TRACY:
I shoot LAMINATED birch shafts for the weight. They are 11/32 and finished weigh about 600 grains spined for #60.

Titan_Bow:
I bought some birch arrow shafts from a trad archery vendor last year.  If there is any grain runout they will break along that runout. ( I broke two shafts while straightening them)   Also,  I could not keep them straight. I used heat, got them really straight, but again, if there is any wave or deviation in the grain at all, they tended to bend or warp there, regardless of how much I fought to keep them striaght.

Kegan:
My bows are about 80#, and I shoot thme with a slightly tunred grip- making them less finicky on spine (but it does mess with the limbs I realize). Weight and durability are what I'm mainly concerned with- and they seem like they'll do the trick. And if they don't work out, I can always just go back to my hickories.

Sounds like I need to at least give them a try :).
