Static Spine vs Dynamic Spine vs Dynamic Bend: Building Arrows for Bowhunting

[@AngusMoss_Archery]

I've found that no matter where your weak point of the spine is, it doesn't dictate where your nock tune is. From my experience it's more about the actual spine deflection consistency in a certain location.. i.e. some set ups like weak spine down, some like weak spine up but more importantly from the smallish data I've gathered I've seen a consistency around the actual deflection number. Each set up like a specific spine deflection number face up (or down) and when you nock tune if you mark the best paper tear with each arrow and then go retest the arrows on the spine tester, each arrow in the nock position that you marked, will likely be close to each other in spine deflection number.

I just watched this three times and I am realizing I dont know enough about arrows... Thanks for pointers Chad.

Excellent presentation. I have the paps system and fletching jig and laser to perfectly align the dynamic spine. Can shoot 3 inch groups 100 yards. Dorage is a good man. God bless and take care.

Excellent description of Spine, some of the best I’ve heard so far but I’m quite new to archery. There is so much that goes into arrow flight. So, would you still recommend nock tuning? Are you nock tuning with vanes or bare shaft or with field point on? Great video, great podcast, definitely got me hooked to your channel 🏹🦌🍔

[@gregorytubbs8981]

Great information! I’ve been tediously nock tuning bare shafts for a few years now. This looks like a quick and close enough alternative. Just need the spine index tool to do it.

[@timstangret2348]

So what you are doing is finding the stiff side of the shaft correct?? Do you want the stiffer side up or down ?? When doing the nock tuning Troy’s way one is perfect the other is always very close but not exactly as good?? Thanks for your content awesome as always

[@chadsylvester8336]

Correct, one side will be under tension and the other under compression. Finding this allows us to know where the arrow will flex first and in what direction when work is applied by the bow string. This only matters if you are shooting a fixed rest. Ideally, the only point of contact with your rest is the shafts node.

Pretty critical information to know for archers

[@justinlane3483]

This assumes a person has this tool. Is there a way to do this quickly, key word here, quickly, to save time nock tuning? I've tried the bathtub method with crappy results, but curious. Maybe I did it wrong or there is a better way?

[@justinlane3483]

Love your vids but want to ask the question for average Joe's who either can't or don't want to buy a spine tester.

[@archeryonly5629]

Yepppp !!👍

[@dennybirchfield]

It's all personal preference and whT works for you and your bow

[@ericnewman971]

arrows shot in a compound bow shot with a release do not flex like the video you are using. (slow motion)

[@donaldvonlintig8445]

Correct, Arrows shot with a release, oscillate in the vertical plane, Arrows shot with fingers, ( real men) Oscillate in the horizontal plane,. It amazes me, how many of these You-Tube, archery "Experts" assume Everyone shoots a release, and is Right -Handed.

[@ericnewman971]

you mean not everyone is right-handed? haha@@donaldvonlintig8445
