cedar Arrows
Well, today is my B-Day, don't all yell happy b-day at once.
So the little lady had her ear to the ground and heard I wanted a set of cedar arrows. So she got a set from cabelas which are 3 rivers arrows.
Some are not straight visibly. Should I just manually by hand bend into shape? And keep at it until they are straight?

RE: cedar Arrows
Like Chad said, patience is the key........ I try to spread my straightening over several sessions....... I'll get them out and work them all one time...... Then put them up...... Then I'll get them out again the next day or two and work them again........ The I'll do it again the next or two....... The last batch I made I think I went through 4-5 straightening sessions...... That approach helps me from getting frustrated and trying too hard...... I am not a perfectionist, so I don't get too anal about it..... Once I can get them to roll fairly straight on a table, I fletch them up and shoot them......

RE: cedar Arrows
Maybe not BC--what type bow are you shooting, how is the shelf cut, what is your draw length, what length are the arrows, what weight point, and what type string? Lots of variables to consider.

RE: cedar Arrows
I pull 26 inches....... Just a normal cut riser, I don't know what it is...... I spine my arrows at 26, but I cut them 28.... My arrows are dead on when they are 5-10lbs heavier than my draw..... That's using Ramin and 100 grain tips....

RE: cedar Arrows
If you cut them to 30 inches, you will need between 60-65 in spine at that weight and that draw......... Assuming 3 rivers spines their arrows at 28 inches, you will need 5lbsheavierfor eachinch that your arrows are over 28..... That's just ball park......
