This last weekend down at the Wolverine shoot a few of us were discussing the importance of having the right spinning for your arrows. I think part of the reason for this was due to a couple of us having bought the tapering jig recently and Jim having got some arrows made up recently.

Whilst doing some research I came across this video on the Archers Paradox and dangers of using the wrong spinning of arrows.  I’ve posted a shorter version of this a few weeks back and I know a few other people have posted the link too.

The effects of too low a spinning is very evident, the arrows are almost like they are rubber bands! Also note the protective glove the archer wears when trying out low spine weights.

Thanks for reading
