How straight should I get my shoots? HELP!!!!

David,
Most shoot shafts will taper naturally. They seem to be quite spine tolerant, perhaps because of this taper.
I haven't spine rated any of my natural shafts. Sometimes one will be too far out and not go where pointed so I don't shoot it, or it breaks or gets lost. It is suprising how you can adjust to a known set of mismatched arrows. My archer is field archery at targets, but 15 arrows used regularly each weekend for 2 years leave me down to 6. They really are durable.
I have removed some of the taper on my shafts on the set I am making to ensure the point end is not too large. I'll be interested to see how this effects them. Commercial shafts are sometimes tapered towards the nock end so I hope they will still fly OK.
