bare shafting

[geno]

How many take one carbon from a dozen and bareshaft it and just cut the rest.or do you bareshaft them all?

How about woodies from a matched Doz?

Carbon yes, I don't bare shaft wood.

Thats how you adjust the dynamic spine on carbons,by bareshafting them and or adding front end.They don't come in as many different spines as wood or aluminum.

I know what you're saying.....kinda calling the rest of them "good".

One thing I've learned about CX heritage shafts, though.  They read a "hair" stiff, until they've been shot several times.  I almost pulled my hair out this year when I bought a new dozen, already cut to my normal length.  Shot 'em 30 times or so....and they were fine.

I do it.  I'll bare shaft one and figure the rest are fine.  Hasn't burnt me, yet.

Thats what I was asking Jeff. How about on the matched woodies..

If you KNOW the other shafts in the group are the SAME static spine, bareshafting one is enough.  I wouldn't rely on the supplier's statement that all your shafts are 50-55 or whatever.  Measure the spine of each shaft, then if they're 50-55 or whatever then you're good to go.

You need to check all of your wood shafts on a spine tester, and if they're all within 5 pounds, pick a couple from the middle of the range for your bare shaft testing. Feathers will take care of a little variation, but not a lot.

If i'm bareshafting by watching bareshaft flight, I only use one arrow.
But,
If i'm using the planing method (O.L. Adcock's method) then I use 3 bare, and 3 fletched shooting them all to see where the bare group in relation to the fletched.
