Spining shoot shafts

(1/1)

Piddler:
Folks, Where do you take spine readings on shoot shafts where one end is smaller than the either.
Thanks,
Piddler

Pat B:
Just like any other arrow shaft I place the nock end of a shoot shaft to the right on the spine tester and hang the weight in the middle of the shaft on the tester.

Piddler:
Forgot to mention that my spine tester is an Ace model 203 so it only measures one side.

Pat B:
Will you post a pic of the tester with an arrow on it?

Piddler:
Pat, Here are three photos. Photo quality is not so good. As you can see when the big end is placed in the brackets it reads about #70, Small end about #35 and in the middle about #50. I'm guessing use the middle??.
PS Pat you may recognize the cane.
Thanks
Piddler
