Seperate them by weight and then make them up in batches of 12 with weight matched by each dozen.
When I have a 100 count I spine them into 5# groups and the weigh those into sub-groups. Note that they may say 60-65# on the box outside in a 100 count shipment but you may find individual shafts of 50 to 80#. At least I did.
Been a LONG time since I had a hundred at a time, though.

Dave you can soak in Danish Oil to pick up weight. Seals teh shaft at teh same time too.

Thank you Pac good idea ...I want to keep my weight close as possible ,,so my minds eye gets used to arrow flight. PAC will Danish mess up spline...I use wipe on poly...I guess I can try danish on my light arrows and leave poly on heavy arrows..

I prefer Stumkiller's suggestion and do it exactly like he sorts them. Trying to equalize weight and spine 100 shafts would be like picking flys**t from pepper with boxing gloves on.

I do what stumpkilles does and keep them sorted that way until you need them.

Sorting by weight is good, but 30 grains difference in weight is not that terrible, I doubt most people would notice a difference out to 25-30 yards and even than it would be tough. 50 grains maybe, anything over most likely but again after 20-25 yards for 50-80 grain weight diffrence. Shawn

I agree with Shawn. Arky, please, the word is spine, not spline.

Another trick is to put more coats of poly on the lighter shafts to get them closer in weight. I dip mine and can get about 14 more grains to get them closer. Repeat if necessary.
