A brilliant tool, as I'm sure we all agree.
I'm just about to start putting together some Penthalon shafts, and they come with an extra long 52gn insert (2inches) and a thought hit my noggin:
"Won't inserts stiffen the shaft, thus making my precisely calculated 28" shafts behave like they're 26" because of the 2" insert?
I mean, inserts will keep the shaft from bending, won't they?
Or does the stiffness up front not interfere with the paradox, as the paradox is biggest at the 0% FoC area(around the middle). (or precise FoC?)
I thought about incorporating the insert as a footing in the calculator, will that work?
Thanks for any help, SveinD
As a sidenote:
As I am also using alum footing* on the arrow together with the long insert, how do I work out that problem?
I decided that 1/2 inch footing of 6gns would suffice so I don't think it's a big deal. Just my need for detail, sorry
*Yononindos aluminum footing that prevents the carbon shafts from splitting up front.
