Just wondering how you would determine the straightness of a carbon arrow shaft? Would you use a micrometer or what? I would think that would be the way to do it but am not sure. Take several measurements off the arrow? Thanks for the help

You could support the arrow on a roller and set up a micrometer at the end to check runout as you spin it. I think most companies report straightness over 28". You would divide the number by 2. An arrow that checked .006" would have a straightness of .003". That's if they're claiming straightness off the centerline of the arrow and not runout.
