Okay, So I'm a wood arrow junkie, what can I say.
I hope this dosen't fall into the Popular mechanics category.
I'm building a set of arrows that I want to increase my weight up front. I know that by rilling the shaft and adding weight I'll impact the spine of the shaft.
Maybe an exapmle is the way to go. Now, this is for discussion purposes only.
If I have a shaft that spines 70#'s and is good with my BH weight, I drill the shaft 3" and add weight internally. I know that by adding the weight I will weaken the shaft. Now, by drilling back 3" and adding 3" of steel wire, will I be effectively decreasing the length of the shaft and increasing the spine because I have stiffened that portion of the shaft?
make any sense? Has anyone run into that and what did you do?
With the price of good cedar today, I don't want to be making a pile of fire starters.
I really don't want to go to hard wood shafts to get the extra weight.
