Bamboo arrows fatiguing?

(1/3) > >>

Tommy D:
Does anyone notice bamboo arrow spine reducing/ changing over time? And if so is it a sort of slow continuous process or does it suddenly happen?

Do wooden shafts fatigue more or less than bamboo?

bjrogg:
I haven’t used bamboo, but not to my knowledge.

Can you explain what is happening to make you think arrows are becoming weaker?

Tommy D:
Well I had a set made for me that were supposed to be spine matched and over time I felt some arrows were flying differently so I checked their spine on my home made spine tester and there is quite a wide range!

Pat B:
I've never noticed any loss of spine with well seasoned cane arrows.

Tommy D:
Ok good to know - maybe I just wasn’t paying attention to start with and they were always out of whack!
