    Shortcut for people with access to arrows of different weights and lengths. Just simply shoot many different arrows from your bow, and the arrow that shoots most accurate is the correct arrow for your bow. Then record length, weight, and specific tip of that arrow, along with spine. Many times, this is a much quicker way to find the correct arrow for your bow. Over scientific explanations, are sometimes highly wasteful of time and effort, and unnecessary.

    I know the video is old but please wear safety glasses with steel on steel hammering. My friend caught a chip about half an inch from taking out his eye. I will admit his wedge was in bad shape but I hate to see those kinds of injuries. Especially with old school teachers. We need you guys to stick around. Other than that, thanks for the video.

    I learned a new trick,......I bought Bearpaw shafts 56-60,....they were like 38# spine mostly. and their might have been 1 good shaft? So about 11 had grain runoff as many as 3 places on some. Buyer Beware* But all were straight.

    I buy the heaviest spined cedar arrows I can get. One time I was trying to order some heavy spined port oford from some shop online. .the guy asked about my bow specs and my recurves range from #35 all the way up to #55. I told him I wanted the heaviest spined shafts and he told me the #80-85 was out of stock and then I was like alright the next highest..out of stock, alright the next highest, out of stock, he asked me what poundage I'm going to be shooting and I said about #45. He was like you are way over spined and im like okay buddy. I think there's a reason all your high spined cedar is outta stock, because guys know what they want. They want some tough shafts. My uncle uses the 23/64 80-85 spined cedar arrows out of his #35 Herters and they launch quiet, fly straight as can be, and hit like a freight train.

    I’ve watched two videos where you suggest tuning brace height but you haven’t discussed how to change the brace height for tuning. I’m sure it has to do with string length but I’ve never seen it done.

    Nothing better than homemade arrows. Love me some thick 23/64 shafts. I can smell the cedar and clear blue lacquer already. That lacquer is toxic. I never met but heard of a local arrow builder who passed away early from lung cancer. One has to think if the exposure to all the lacquer over the years, had something to do with it? I don't know if he used a face mask or not. These raptor arrows shoot beautifully. I was in a pinch a few years ago and ordered some of these and yeah there's something to be said for someone who makes arrows all year long! A master at their craft. They shot great.

    So, in other words, it ain't easy to figure out which arrow to choose. I think I"ll just go find a stick and see how it goes.
