OK.........so Len's comments in the bowhunting forum have me wondering just how the heck you can "test" the straightness of an arrow.

I am assuming this is done by spinning the arrow but want to make sure I am not missing something else.


Now, I want to ask something else while I am at it.

Does it REALLY matter or make a difference??

What I mean by that is honestly I don't check my arrows hardly at all and I shoot a ton. I spin them when I first put my heads on and that's it. I have never tossed an arrow for not passing the spin test so actually I am not even sure I do it all the time any more. I have shot cheap arrows all the way to top shelf stuff and never really noticed a straightness issue. I can shoot nice groups out to 40-50 yards and don't have a problem putting a nice shot on a deer.

So.......is this being over analytical.......or is it something that should be a normal part of everyone's routine?
