Welcome Bruce! I think you'll find TradGang to be a great place to learn, talk, and waste time, and I know you'l find Trad archery to be a great adventure.

As an aside, I'm especially happy to welcome a fellow engineer to tradgang! I believe there are quite a few of us on here.

Lastly, I'd like to personally invite you to check out the Bowyers Bench. It's not for everyone, but alot of us here on TG like to venture into making our own bows .... your wife might be happier, at leat temporarily until she realizes you spend thousands or dollars on shop tools instead or sometimes in addition to bows. Besides, any self respecting redneck has to try and make everything themselves ...

Enjoy!

I am alreay having a blast. I watched a bunch of video's on form. It has helped quite a bit. At 20 yards I am at about a 16 inch spread. Not sure how good that is for a noob but not good enough for hunting this season with my trad bow. I fletched up some of my carbon 4560's and some 55-75's. I am just not sure which spine to use so I figured I was shoot them and see what happens. I have a 42# whisperstick, I guess my trad draw is about 27" ( 28 on a compound )

I got the wife good yesterday, she was watching me fletch some feathers and said " Oh brother, whats next with you. A spear and a loin cloth.

I told her that was one heck of an idea and I would have to give it a try and asked her to find me a good leather loin cloth

Ok guys here come the noob questions. I picked up a Pearson Cougar 40#. Going to head to my friends house as he has a scale to see what it really is.

I checked out all the spine charts. My arrowns will be about 28" or longer if needed.

I want to start off with aluminum so I don't go blow a bunch of money until I know what spine, lenght and tip weight.

So let's say 29" arrow, 41# at a 27" draw

What different spines should I pick up ? I can pick them up for next to nothing as everyone around here uses carbons and wheelies
