I am paper tuning arrows for my recurve and Im getting variable horizontal tears on fletched shafts.
I have a fresh virgin batch of Easton 340 Aftermaths .005. Hopefully this get me closer to indexed spines with respect to nock tuning before I even get the nocks installed. I filled them up with water to clean them. They sank. I pulled one out of water at a time. Blew the water out of them. Then attempted to lay the shaft evenly on the water and spin it. Where it stopped on average after 5-7 spins...I marked the top after drying. Line of thought is that there is a heavy side and lighter side...maybe the heavy side is corresponding with the stiff side of the arrow. Some shafts definitively went to same spot 5 of 5 spins. Some werent so easy and I spun 9-11 times. Chalk marker worked better for marking than a sharpie. |

Crap. I didnt think about elliptical shafts...as Im reading Enewmans spine paper. Thatd definitely show a preferential float point. Floating...One of the least accurate measures

I would like to see your out come. When you mark your arrows. Shoot each one through paper. And note how the tears looks. How many matched. |
