What's the method of tuning? Do ya'll glue  tip and nock? Then pull the tip and trim the front?

Yes, it is easy to destroy nock while removing

Never thought about that. Thanks

Might also think about trying a lighter weight point to increase spine, before cutting. Going 25 grains lighter in point weight will increase your dynamic spine by around 5 lbs, about equal to shortening the arrow by around an inch.

I used to just bareshaft my wood the same as any other arrow.I would glue the point on and remove it for tuning,I would also trim off the old glue with a pocket knife.The old glue would gum up and ruin the grinding disc's on my Woodchuck.You can brake a wood shaft if you are way off on spine.I have broke a few when they hit the target,usally if I picked a weaker spine then I needed.I always saved a bareshaft or two out of a dozen for checking other bows for the proper spine.

I keep a bunch of shafts around the shop of various spines with points and nocks glued on for bareshafting, I have scribbled notes on them re weight and spine.
