Does this mean that the spine of an arrow measured the full length is actually stiffer than one that only measures 8"?
Reason for asking is the weight of each. Might be able to shoot a lighter arrow if the spin is truer.

Both the ACC and Maxima measure straightness over the entire length of the arrow, not the standard 8" of most other shafts. That makes them inherantly straighter than every shaft out there. I'm not sure yet as to how Trophy Ridge measure the straightness of theirs, be it the length of the shaft or 8".

Spine is measured over a 28" span.That is a standard that all shafts are supposed to adhere to.
Mobowas speaking of straightness and I am not sure what the standard for measuing straightness is.

RE: A/C or All Carbon?
I think that nodog was asking if there was an interaction between spine characteristics and straightness.
I.e., the dynamic spine of a less straight arrow might be less than that of a perfectly straight arrow.

I view it this way. If an arrow is "loose" on straightness tolerance, how "loose" are they on the rest of the specs?? Probably just as....Which is I why I always say get the best arrows you can afford.
I know it's difficult dropping cash on arrows, but it really, truely, is well worth it.

Too funny. An arrow company not knowing what that means. Never did. Not worth the time. They were nice about it.

Ok put it like this, cheaper Aluminum arrows are cheaper for a reason, and Cheaper carbon arrows are cheaper for a reason.

range, yet. When carbons started out they were cheaper than aluminums. For some reason other than the cost of making them apparently, they have sky rocketed.
