Thanks for all the good info.    :readit:   I used a cardboard box today and tested my carbon and new wood arrows.  Surprise, surprise!!  I found out my nocking point was too low.  This is the first time I have used the paper method but I really like it.  
I think it is more accurate than bare shaft testing as you can "read" the results from your changes.  No broken shafts either.  Thanks again for all the tips.

Yes, thanks for all the good info indeed.  I had a bunch of PVC laying around so built up a quick frame.  The paper makes it very easy to see what's happening.  I used a Surewood test kit on 2 separate bows an had great results.  Only took a couple of different spines from a range of about 8 feet to find the best fit for each bow.  Stepped back to the 12 yards that basement allows for and saw clean arrow flight.

I bare shaft everything. A short cut is if you use Stu Millers calculator, determine what carbon or aluminum works well then match the numbers up with the woodies. That get's me very close.
