arrow spine

burkenashu:
ok i was just curious what yall thought

bjrogg:
Spine might not matter in the physical sense. You can as Pat says use longer or shorter shafts. Lighter or heavier points.

What really matters is clean arrow flight. And the only way I know how to get that is by coming up with the right combination of stiffness, length and point weight to match the preferred dynamic spine of the arrow, for the bow and archer.

Pappy:
Don't know what I am doing wrong :-\ but it matters with my arrow. :) of course you can make them longer or shorter or add and take away weight but that all changes the spine.  :)

Wyrda:
This is pretty much nonsense. Spine is just as, if not more important for bows without a cutout. You may be able to get away with overspined arrows to some degree, but I know underspined arrows shoot like crazy from my English longbow.

archeryrob:
Like said above me, Physics doesn't change because its primitive. I've argued with these guys for 20 years that get into archery and suddenly know it all. They use long arrows that shoot dynamicaly the same as shorter arrows spined.

The latter half of this I wrote explains a lot of it.
