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."
