I am also a huge believer that the arrow is MUCH ,more important than the bow.One of the reasons that I shoot ACC's.Very consitant arrows.


Here is what gets me everytime.A person walks into a shop.He buys a $700.00 bow,$100.00sights and $100.00 rest.By the time he gets down to choosing arrows,he has spent more than he wanted so instead of changing something,he buys $40.00 a dozenarrows.He just nullified his whole purchse.He is much better off buying $100.00 or more arrows and getting a $400-$500 bow.Not only would he save money but have more consistant arrows that will be a more accurate setup.


I don't think many have a clue how to tune arrows or how important even the glue process can be.This why I still use Easton hotmelt.Glue has to be uniform.I bet many don't realize you can turn nocks many different times (especially with a fallaway) and then if they don't tune,remove the nock and replace it.Funny how a $.50 nock can render a $10.00 arrow useless.One reason why I love the Uni bushing system and g-nocks.


Remeber the arrow is a tuning fork,it should resonate energy(vibrate) all the way to the targetand will tell you all you need to know.Arrows that are too stiff will not vibrate and will not be as accurate at theEXTREME distances.(we all understand why the week arrows are not accurate)Most likely why you see fita arrows such as X-10's offered in such a wide range of arrow spines.12 sizes from 1000 spine all the way to 380 spine. That and for finger shooters that spine is a much more important issue for.
