Default RE: Is spine really that important? (pics)

When I shot those I was using a fletcher 3-D release, the big ugly green one, with a string loop. The rest I currently have on my bow is a Drop Zone. I did have a bodoodle on it and I feel it was a bit more forgiving. I couldn't get it to work with the blazers though. If I index the arrow to get the fletching to clear my rest, one hits my harness.

When I switch back to feathers I will go back to the bodoodle. That rest shoots AWSOME, even with a slight amount of fletching contact with my feathers.

I agree blade rests are pretty forgiving as well. If I were to set up a target bow that is what I would shoot. I may look into getting one for my girlfriends bow. She already has a nice GFK on it, just need to get a blade is all.

It's amazing how little things can actually affect the spine of an arrow, like where you nock, the type of rest you use and the type of release.
