heat tempering for spine

<< < (2/2)

JackCrafty:
The difference the heat tempering will make is about 10%, I think.  So, if the arrow is spined for 50# then heat tempering will give you a 55# arrow.

For me, a 10-15% spine difference is the range I use to match my arrows....so heat tempering doesn't give me any real benefit.  If I've got a "really bendy" arrow, then 10% probably won't stiffen it enough anyway.....but I haven't tried it to find out.

Try it, and let us know how it works. ;D

GregB:
Pat, do you use a heat gun to temper your arrows?

Thanks,
Greg

Greg, I usually use the gas kitchen stove but a heat gun would work fine.     Pat
