I’ve been a Reloader for a few year and a long time archer just got into making my own arrows this year , I’m finding it’s way more enjoyable than loading ammunition, and just as complex
excellent guide thank you for posting. I read somewhere recently that wooden arrows should be tested at 28" and tried using that distance but thought the shafts were bending rather a lot doh !..... There is a lot of misguided and incorrect information on the net so its good to find a reliable source thank you
Hello, mate! I've tried a lot of different DIY Archery crafts but I've got to say; I always fall back to yours because of their simplicity. I'm very sad that your shop isn't open but I will try my best to reproduce your ingenuity. 😁👌 I noticed your links to the Spine Charts have expired, could you possibly re-upload them at some point? Best regards, A hopeful amateur bowyer
Simple DIY … Tip from a measurement technician … Unscrew the pointed tip from the dial gauge and measure with the flat end to avoid deviations from the arrow radius in the vertical measuring tip radius.
Thanks for sharing, its my understanding that you measure grain vertical as shown but when putting the nocks on the grain should be horizontal when nocked is that correct.
Здравейте! Изгледах демонстрацията за измерване на спайна на дървени стрели с модела: RHA ArrowSpine Tester! Бих желал да ми изпратите таблицата за отчитане на спайна,за да имам завършен вид на уреда! Благодаря предварително!
To get a perfect reading the weight of the needle should be included when adding up the 2lb weight. ie, the hung weight would be 2lb minus the weight of the needle
Would'nt it still affect an accurate reading, if you minus the weight of the needle from the 2lb weight before adding it to the arrow shaft, even after you zero the dial, the arrow would be bent slightly by so many .mm from the weight of the needle, then adding the adjusted weight would give the correct weight to pull down on the arrow shaft, but you lost so many .mm when you zero the dial, or am i missing something?@@RobinhoodarrowsRHA
@@RobinhoodarrowsRHA i found that the needle on the dial gauge, the one I got recently which looks identical to yours, is sprung and the pressure it applies varies with the amount of deflection ranging from 0 at full extension to nearly 4oz at full compression, so the extra weight it adds varies with the amount of deflection it is measuring. How do you allow for that, or do you just accept a varying amount of inaccuracy? I can't see how you can reliably correct for it.
Technically You would be able to measure from 200 spine all the way to 1000 spine. My 1" digital goes 0 to 1050. Depending on how you mount the dial (height on board/mount) will dictate the depth of the dials stroke so you want it set where its the most useable for your particular arrows.
Sadly the RHA website, and therefore the link, is dead. Apologies for the inconvenience If you're on Facebook you can PM me via messenger and I can let you have the PDF files facebook.com/kevin66Smith
Hello mate. Thank you for your interesting video. Would you please tell me where I can find the table for the conversion of the arrow band in pounds. Thanks a lot. Jean Pierre
Very good idea, easy to understand. Have bookmarked it as I have several wood arrows that I need to check. Cheers.

Thanks for this! I just recently made a tester based on your original design. Might need to update it in the future.

Your using a Dial gauge, that could put a further 3.2 mm of pressure on the arrow
Thanks a lot. Anyways I see there is a cocktail of measurement units. Millimeters, with inches plus pounds .
The domain of your website seems like it's available for purchase, so I'm taking it you aren't selling these spine testers anymore?

Olá. Como consigo essa tabela de conversão que você mostra no vídeo?
( Número do relógio para spine).
Hi I'm interested in your Arrow spine chart how do I aquire one please many thanks

Nice
How do you transform that mm number into 400/ 500 /600 spine?
thanks
as far as i know, a spine of 600 means 600/1000 inch
Just tried to get to your website to order on.
Website address for sale, I'm guessing you're no longer trading?
With some lower spine shafts, the needle deflects the shaft before adding the weight. How do you compensate for this?
To get a perfect reading the weight of the needle should be included when adding up the 2lb weight. ie, the hung weight would be 2lb minus the weight of the needle
Would'nt it still affect an accurate reading, if you minus the weight of the needle from the 2lb weight before adding it to the arrow shaft, even after you zero the dial, the arrow would be bent slightly by so many .mm from the weight of the needle, then adding the adjusted weight would give the correct weight to pull down on the arrow shaft, but you lost so many .mm when you zero the dial, or am i missing something?@@RobinhoodarrowsRHA

But this is a one inch digital Dial, right? So i can just check shafts from 27lbs, not lower, right?

How much? How do I order one RHA Spine Tester?
Carnt download charts to look at ?

Hello mate.
Thank you for your interesting video.

Thanks a lot.
Jean Pierre
The pdf downloads for the video are in both metric and imperial 😊
@@RobinhoodarrowsRHA where
There is an Link in Video discription but it does not work. Kust search for "AMO Spine Chart" in Google Pictures
How do you get into your cabinet with it screwed to the doors?
Temp mount just for the video 😉
What does the wife think of the holes in her cabinets?
For natural shaft 1,94 pon too ?
2 pound weight for wooden arrow, 1.94 pounds for carbon or aluminum arrows.
Wooden arrows are held 26" apart and carbon/aluminium at 28" apart
@@RobinhoodarrowsRHA uuuu thanks broo 👍👍
It looks like he screwed his cabinets shut.
Just for the video 😉
