Thinking of going modern..........
« on: February 25, 2010, 01:22:00 PM »
Spine tester that is. I have been using a vintage
Scheib EXACT-O-MATIC for years now. It is a great spine tester and if I had a nickel for every dozen arrows it has gone ......

   So,I am thinking of going with something a little more up to date,maybe even digital.Anybody have any opinions on what is out there.

         Thanks a lot,
                      Craig

I've heard very good reports about the Spine-O-Meter.

I love the spine-o-meter, been using it almost daily and weekly for three years. I had a home made set up before that-not nearly as elegant as yours Rob!

I was just trying to picture how many BB split shot I would have to string up to make the proper weight (since I just don't have a stash of surf-casting stones like that).....  :saywhat:

If you have the money to spend Ace archery has a very good and easy to use spine/spin tester.
