Picking the right spine for my arrow

[nuval.J2711]

No BSO.... I'm just a garage bow tuner. I started working on my own stuff a few years ago because there were no competent bow shops anywhere near me. I live right near a BassPro Shop and after a couple of really bad experiences with their archery shop, it motivated me to start learning. I am fortunate to have a very good friend who did own a bow shop in Georgia. He started me on the basics, and I have been tinkering around for years from there. It's actually not too difficult to tune your own equipment once you learn the basics. For me, tuning the bows and building arrows is as much a part of the experience as the hunting itself.

Where abouts are you?

Ah that's a nice area.

Ah that's a nice area.

It used to be 20 years ago. I'm sad to say that between the overpopulation, traffic, crime, and other "cultural" changes, it's really a paradise lost. We've got 5 more years until I can retire, and then we are Montana bound!
