Default RE: How big a spine deflection range...

Rangeball, I agree with both Raymond and Jeff. Raymond is right in that too many people take the Easton chart as gospel when the chart really does nothing more than get you into the ballpark and give you a place to begin experimenting. And Jeff is right that you must experiment with different arrows to find out which is best for your shooting style, form and equipment.

Just from my experience and what I' ve seen with durability, I' d look at trying the 2216' s and 2315' s first. Compared to those two shafts, I' ve found the 2117' s a little too easy to bend and 2314' s a little too easy to crease. 2413' s would be even easier to crater out with a close hit from another arrow.

If you belong to an archery club, a very good place to find a variety of arrow spines is the lost arrow bucket. Just be sure to put ' em back when you' re done borrowing them.
