just wondering what spine tester you guys use??

I made Mine out of Scrap Wood, a Nice but not Expensive Dial Gage, and a 20 0z. Pop Bottle with a Cup Hook Mounted through the Cap!! It works out to Exactly 2 Pounds!!  "Frugality"  is My Gig!!

Ace Spine Master

Still using an old Adams from some years ago.  It does a good job.
Take care of them.  They be expensive nowadays!
Keep them where they can't get dropped, bumped, or or anything dropped on them, and they will last forever.  Olebow

Ace Spine Master

Here is where I got the idea for the one I made- I got the  dial inducator and stand from harbor freight $15 and made the frame from scrap wood instead of metal- works great.

"CupCake" a guy from "TradGang" is making them.  He's selling them on the Sponsor's Classifieds page.  This is one of the Finest testers I have ever seen. Check his Tester out......Mark

If you want a real nice spine tester, you got to check out "CupCake" in the Sponsor's Classifieds page.            

Made one from plans published in Archery Magazine, I believe, in the '50s.  Works fine.

Homemade dial indicator type.  You just need some scrap wood, a pair of L-brackets (or more scrap wood), a dial incidator, and a weighting contrivance that weighs 2 pounds. (A big bolt and washers will work.)  You might tie up $30 in parts.  It's not fancy, but it works well.  I almost with I hadn't made one since it makes it too difficult to justify spending a couple hundred dollars on a fancier needle and guage arrangement, LOL!

If you want a cheap one make it your self,If you want a good one that will last forever and looks good check out your sponsor's. (CupCake)  

First one built from plans by 2Jays, then I bought one from Ace (Spine-Master, model 203). Both work equally well, but the Ace is much smaller.

Can someone tell me Flite-Rite`s web page.
Thanks  Bue--.
