Title: AD spines. .Here they are
Post by: wingnut on March 30, 2009, 10:52:00 AM
Well Ted sent the shafts for me to test and here are the deflection results.

Traditional  .300  86.7#

Hammer head  .300  86.7#

Trad Lite    .335  77.0#

These numbers can be used with the Dynamic Spine Calc.

I've seen those spine numbers for AD's,for me they don't seem to be equal to the same as parallel carbons.The Trad's don't seem as stiff as my Beman Black Max 300's,maybe because the AD's are tapered.I shoot both AD Trads and Trad Lites,they are great arrows.

Thanks Mike.

Are the Traditionals the same as the Trad Heavies, or is that a different shaft?

If so any idea what the Trad Heavies spine at?

Even with all the numbers above i assume the Dynamic spine will most likly have a much wider span because of the taper.

Badger Arrow, I do not understand all of the numbers you posted for the ADs. Which numbers go with which arrows. SOme lines look like there are 3 arrows listed, others look like there are 4 arrows listed.

Thanks
