Arrow spine Being new to longbow archery I am a bit baffled by how to work out the spine weight needed for my new bow. It is a Bickerstaffe 50lb and I have a draw length of 28 inches. Any help would be appreciated _________________ If in doubt make it work. If that doesn't work, make a new piece

Also if you click on the link for the Longbow shop on the left, Jason has spine charts on his site. _________________ Lock S-foils in attack position. Get clear Wedge you can`t do any more good back there.
