Check out the sponsor classifieds for the improved Spine-O-Meter.  The scales have been improved to include pounds spine, aluminum and carbon deflections.  Now all three shaft types can be compared at a glance on the same scale.  The Rosetta Stone for arrow shafts.



Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin, for those of us who already own one of these finely crafted pieces: can we get a set of the new scales?

I will have new scales available for those who have the original ones.  They are pretty neat if I do say so myself.  The supply is a bit limited right now but that should be fixed in a week.

Funny, I still have not made any woodies yet.

Well this weekend I received a custom Spine-O Meter from Kevin as a Christmas gift. It has a few "Extra" options that I asked for. From the first day he told us he was going to design/make a spine tester, I knew that it would be Top Notch. Mine is perfect. Kevin's technical background really comes to the front with this thought out tester. We just got off the phone, dicussing the idea of building bows. I can't wait! Kevin I want to thank you for the Gift.

Mark,

Thanks for the kind words.

Mark sort of took me under his wing a few years back and taught me a lot about traditional archery so I wanted to show my appreciation.  He is good company.

I know my handle is a bit weird.  My wife used to call me cupcake all the time so I thought...

I have been considering the new handle "The archer formerly known as Cupcake, TAFKAC.  Waddayathink?

Besides it being an 18 year old thread his scale is way off. With deflection being on the right and pounds being on the left .520 should be 50#, not 61# like it shows in the picture.
