i was watching ryan gills spine video he says that spine doesnt matter in primitive archery thoughts

sleek:
Id be interested in watching that video, would you post a link?

WhistlingBadger:
Ryan used to show up on the forums once in a while.  I miss seeing him around here--he seems like a good guy.

If I remember right, Ryan shoots over-spined arrows with very light, stone points.  He talks about it at some length in one of his books.  I don't remember the whole point, but there is more to it than "spine doesn't matter."

If I remember, Ryan used cane and possibly natural hardwood shoots for arrows. With the natural taper of the cane and shoot shafts the spine has a range of poundages it can work well with. Longer arrows also helps.
