RE: wisker biskets for beginners
Spine is simply a measure of how much an arrow flexes under a given load.
Compare two bows, one that stores and releases low energy and on high. The arrow sees the release of stored energy as a push against it's rear end. The lower energy push won't cause it to bend much, the higher will.
Matching the perfect flexing to a particular set up (bow, rest, release, finished arrow weight, tip weight, etc) yields the best results.

First thanks for the responses. I did not paper tune. I asked Larry if I should he said not to worry about it so I didnt do it.

What they said, And I don't think I'd be taking much advice from Larry anymore either.

I took the bow from his hand, walked up to the paper, and from 5' away shot the most gawd awfullest ugly tear you can imagine. I looked at him, and he told me "you can't paper tune a bow that close, you gotta give the arrer time to flex and straighten out"
I said thanks, paid him, and once home in minutes had a perfect tear from 5'...
My guy's name wans't Larry... There's more than one of these "pros" out there...
