Title: Deflection on a wood arrow
Post by: SactoBowman on December 16, 2011, 10:30:00 PM
Can anyone tell me what the deflection is on a 45-50 spine Surewood shaft?

I'm looking to input some figures into Stu Miller's calc and don't know what this fifure would be.

Thanks.

Bill

Google James Hill Spine Tester. He has a chart for all spine weights and deflections.

If you take the number 26 and divide it by the poundage you are wanting, it will give you the deflection. IE"
26 divided by 45= .5777777
26 divided by 50= .520

I just put the midway poundage,ie; 45-50 put 47.5 in the pound box,at least that's what Stu told me to do. No need to know the deflection.

StringS...................

That formula is great information. Got a chart from you guys sometime back but I will write that formula down.

Thanks again.................James

You can also take a know deflection (AMO) number and divide it by 26 and it will give you the poundage for that deflection.

Ok got it.  Makes sense now.  I was confused because the arrows are sold spines 45-50, so I wasn't sure what to enter.

Thanks!

If the arrows were sold as 45-50 that spine weight is for an arrow that is 28" long with a 125 point attached.
