Shoot arrow length and spine adjustments?

<< < (2/5) > >>

JackCrafty:
Good point.  No, I don't tie the fletching....I don't fletch the arrows at all when flight testing.  I use the "bare shaft shooting at close-range target" method.

D. Tiller:
How close do you stand to the target then?

JackCrafty:
About 10-15 feet.

D. Tiller:
I will definatly give it a try! Should save on a lot of feathers too.

Personally I like over long arrows. An extra six inches of shaft won't weigh a lot and I have found that the longer the shaft the less spine critical it seems. I have shot some very different weight/spine/diameter hazel shafts with weight forward due to hardwood fottings and had quite good results.
Nothing to stop you setting a length a long as you dare.
Many primitive peoples have used very long arrows and in my opinion it is because they work.
