RE: Easton Spine Chart Stiff ??
Hmm, makes a guy wonder.
Almost sounds like an intentional error, in order to sell more arrows.
Let's see,
If you find the arrows you just bought are too stiff for your setup what can you do, besides buy new arrows ?...
-Increase draw weight? (but many shooters used their max draw weight to select the arrows in the first place, and would end up over-bowed and sacrifice form and/or a smooth draw.)
-Move rest, or adjust rest tension? (even if there is enough adjustment in your rest to establish decent groups, you'll be way off-center and will still be relying heavily on your fletching to correct the error. A bare shaft will still plane to the left, and so will one with wet feathers.)
-Increase point weight? (but a lot of newer shooters don't want to do ANYTHING that will decrease speed, even if it means poor arrow flight.)
If you don't want to, or can't, do any of the above to fix the problem, you are stuck with buying new arrows since you can't lengthen the shafts to make them act weaker. Their length could only be changed by shortening them which would only make the problem worse.
If Easton would have made the error in the other direction, causing you to select arrows that were a bit too weak in spine, you would be more likely to be able to adjust for it. Funny how the error is the one that makes us buy more arrows.
Aren't these folks at Easton supposed to be the arrow experts?
It seems they are very smart indeed. More than they counted on archers knowing.
Don't get caught. Buy' em on the weak side.
