    Is there a calculator or program out there where you can put in the type of string (diameter), number of strands to get an idea of what serving to use to match my nocks? I found one but it looked like an excel spreadsheet where someone had put in the numbers for strings they have already done.*...

    A while back somebody posted a tool for calculating arrow spine in relation to arrow length, draw weight, etc,etc You punch in the numbers and it gave you your arrow spine estimate. If anybody has that link, if you could post it Id appreciate it. Im trying to figure how much spine Im losing by...

    Curious if anybody can speak to the accuracy of the 3 rivers spine calculator for Border limbs, or any other medium/big hook limbs. I'm setting up a wf19 with 32# long Hex 5s. Still waiting on the string so I can scale it, but this should be right around 40# at my draw with the limb bolts most...

    So, this week I have been playing with the 'new' 2014 version of Stu's spine calculator. If you aren't already aware, a newer version of Stu's spine calculator is available (link to URL: www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1929817). I really like the graphical spine result and best of all...

    Hi Everyone, I'm switching back to traditional archery after close to 10 years of being away from it. I shot recurves growing up in California, but then I grew to 6'4" and had to long of a draw for any of the bows I had. I live in Ohio now and have been hunting with a crossbow for the last few...

    I've been practicing since last winter using full length 400 spine arrows with 125g tips. I'm wanting to order a nice set of arrows for the upcoming season though. I'm shooting a 45# Fleetwood Archery Monarch (rebranded sage from what I can tell) I have a 27.5 inch draw, according to the...

    Yeah I know, I normally dont use these things and am struggling with what to put in for arrow spine when I choose "other". Im trying to input values for the goldtip ultralight 600 and when I use 600 or .6 or anything Im getting a dynamic spine of -8.2 Im unaware of any of the drop down choices...

    I'm shooting 60# @28" . 28" DL . I recently switched to axis .400s . 29.75" 50 grain inserts 125 grain tips , x knocks and 4 fletch , 5" feathers . I'm liking how they fly and how they bare shaft at 20 yards. I want to start scoring for the 12 ends of 5 arrows and want to foot both ends of arrow...

    For those of you that measure center shot, how do you determine it? With the string tracking down the center of the limbs, is it "0" if the string tracks down the center of the arrow? Then what ever distance the outer edge of the strike plate is from this position? Then the arrow diameter will...

    In Germany, there is a popular book on arrows by a guy called Dietmar Vorderegger. I've read it recently, and it appears that it contains a method for calculating appropriate spine values for traditional archers based on very little input data. I've done such calculations now a few times for me...

    Like many of you I play around with the 3Rivers spine calculator. I was hoping to hear from some of you as to the accuracy of it for your set up. When you plug in the specs for your bow, and current arrow choice, does is closely match? Recently I started to get hen feather wear and a trough has...

    If the bow riser is cut 3/16ths inch past center, is that selected as -0.1875 or +0.1875 on the calculator?

    I was playing around on Stu's calcualtor to see what it would tell me I would need regarding additional length & point weight if I wanted to go from a .500 spine to a .400, just to get a heavier hunting shaft and have them spine the same (all else being equal). It looks like I'd need approx. one...

    I am trying to figure out some arrow options for my new 21" hoyt excel with black max 45# limbs. I am drawing 29.5". The Excel isn't listed in the dropdown settings so what bow is closest? This will be for my hunting rig. Any tips, advice or recommendations are appreciated as I am more than...

    Help me please, Trying to download this program but having problems. I have downloaded the PDF as he says but then what, do I need to mail him? I am almost computer illiterate so any basic instructions would help. As always, thanks for reading.

    I am trying to use Stu's calculator, but I have trouble knowing what to enter for the center cut measurement. Since I use a plunger set where the arrow point sets just outside the string (standard setup), it would seem to me that the center cut measurement should be fairly standard as long as I...

    I'm digging Stu's spine calculater, but I'm lost on the center cut selection nomenclature . I shoot right handed. What direction generates a positive number? 63# @ 27.25" 14 strand ff. I've stumbled across some carbons (my first) that fly pretty good as a starting point. Easton axis 29" 90...

    Hi Everyone! I am having trouble with Stu's most recent calculator. Several of the cells do not respond -- @ Inches, BOP cut length, Your draw, strike plate thickness, and the box locks up on Shaft Size. Anyone else experiencing these issues? Stu even sent me a clean, new version, but no dice...

    Got an email from Stu this morning. The newest version has been released, and it's the most complete data set I've worked with. He has added a lot more info and features since sending me the Beta version 4 months ago. You must have Office 2007 or above to use it. Go here to download...
