Title: cORRECT SPINED ARROWS FOR MY BOWS
Post by: Longbow58 on July 01, 2014, 08:40:00 AM
Need a bit more info on this subject. I know the spine for the poundage of my bows but how many different factors go into the formula to really get the right spine for them. I realize it will make them perform better but want to be safe also and can share this with my shooting partners. Thanks for your time and knowledge. Printed out an AMO spine chart.

Shelf cut, string material, point weight, arrow length and draw length all factor in to what spine works best

FORM -

Good form can make a mis-spined arrow fly straight to the mark. Bad form cannot make the perfect arrow fly straight.

The spine charts only get one "in the ballpark" so to speak. Then it is up to the archer to shoot them to see which fly the best. If there is one thing I would stress is that there is not just one spine that will work out of your bow/archer combination. One should be able to shoot several spine groups well-it really is not that critical.

Get 2-3 spine groups, cut them to your desired length, fletch and proceed to shooting.
