Hi !

I´m about to build a spine tester, does anyone know how to build one? A good drawing would help a lot.

bodkin,

Try this site. Also, Grizzly.com has the dial indicator for about $20.

I built mine from the bowyers den. There were three different plans to choose from. The one I picked had the downloadable image for the chart.

Hi !

Thanks for the answers,you are very kind. How do you use your testers? Do you test the arrows stiffness all the way around the shaft? How should the nock be set properly?
