5 shot, I really don' t see the thread as going wrong because this issue is part of the whole tuning triad. You cannot tune an arrow that isn' t straight or has inconsistent spine. To top it off, the higher performance bow you' re trying to shoot it out of, the more the arrow' s problems are going to be magnified.
I tell my customers not to buy certain arrows because of the yield factor. Guess what, they still want them. I don' t know of any other shop in the nation that warns their customers about this situation and provides spin testers for them to use. They require arrows and, if they don' t buy them from me with the knowledge and testing that I provide, they would wind up buying them from another source.
Len, that' s pretty much what I pointed out earlier. I know you' ve got a business to run and need to keep the lights on and beans on the table, so I' m not blaming YOU at all. I' m just a little sick of the manufacturers operating on the P.T. Barnum theory of business. ' There' s a sucker born every minute.'
I think if a lot more dealers did speak up and ream the manufacturers, then they' d get a bit more concerned about improving the quality of what goes out their doors. But what would really get their attention is if we, the consumers, started demanding quality products instead of accepting that maybe 4 or 5 arrows out of a dozen will be useable.
