Default RE: Making minor spine adjustments.....

It would seem to me, that if you add weight to the rear, dynamic spine would weaken. The arrow would be heavier, adding more resistance on the shot. I would think that this would cause the arrow to bend less. Think of adding a pound weight to the rear. The arrow would travel very slowly and the needed spine to keep the arrow from bending, would be very light.

I completely agree with Arthur about the effects on FOC, which is why I never add weight to the rear. I don't dip my arrrows, use wraps, vanes, or any other heavier items on the rear. Randomly changing dynamic spine and lowering FOC is a double wammy in my opinion. The ideal arrow backend is light and has lots of drag, and adds good spin to the arrow.
