Out of my around the handle bows, POC spined 70-75 # shoot well.

...now I hear that hardwoods need to be spined a bit more,

is that the case with Ramin ?

If yes, what spine would compare to 70-75 # POC ?

..and last,...I'm probably going to order 500 dowels from ATLAS, what variations in spine will I get ?

thanks in advance

in my opinion you should still be pretty close with the 70-75  as long as you bare shaft them first!!  I shoot some that are spined 90-95 and they are heavy  get a hold of larry at lost nation archery if you want to try a set of them before you buy all of those shafts!!!

you can probably expect the 500 shafts if 11/32" to be any where from 50-120lb spine  Ive looked through a bos and got a wide range of spines!!

the majority will be 75-90. Some super stiff and some lighter spine. If you have a spine tester you can always "adjust" the heavy ones to what you need.

I find the spines comparable to cedar or other soft woods. Example... 80-85 cedar= 80-85 Ramin. I use mostly center shot recurves so it could be different.

Thanks Charlie, .....the majority 75-90, that would be great,I can surely deal with that   :bigsmyl:

American Woodcrafter Supply Company. I just bought 100 3/8" from them and the ones I've spine tested so far come in around the 80-90 pound mark. Here is their link.

Manny, yeah those are the ones. I've spined about half of them so far and I've only thrown out one bad squirly one.

North shore , i will only shoot Ramin from now on have been for over a year now .i don't try for a 11/32 shafts. draw about 53# from a 55# recurve   just barrel taper them until they spine 85# then stick in elecric drill and sand until spine 64#  they fly great from my bow some are between 5/16 and 11/32 .will get about 65 good shafts from 100 .i like heavy arrows so stick 190 + grain heads on them  and they are amazing .

i shot in an indoor 3D shoot today in a basement  concrete walls and floors .missed a lot more they the guys i shot with probably had 50% of the misses  no broke arrows  , and the rest had at least 10 broke arrows  --- herb ramin for ever
